Have you tried setting the externalip and localnet parameters?

Localnet makes some sense, and is set (should be the default anyway, no?)
I don't think it's set by default. Anyone know how we can see which localnets are in use from the CLI? sip show settings doesn't work even if I explicitly defined a localnet.
externalip, as I understand it, is for an Asterisk which is behind
a NAT.  This asterisk is not behind a NAT to anybody.  The
phones are behind a NAT to the outside world but not to the
Asterisk box, which has two ethernets on it, one for the internal
natwork and one for the real internet.
The way I understand it, externalip and localnet work hand-in-hand. I do agree with you that this is commonly used for Asterisk behind a NAT. I believe these parameter just helps asterisk determine what to do. In your case, you don't lose anything - the external IP would still have to be written into every outbound packet.

It uses bindaddr=0.0.0.0 and listens to both addresses.
externalip doesn't affect the bindaddr.
