Pardon my ignorance, but couldn't you set up this provider as a "Static peer" so he would always be first in the hash?

Unfortunately the answer is no; in Asterisk 1.6.x chan_iax2 stores users/peers in a hash table, which as you have determined means they are not stored in any particularly obvious order... and even if you did determine the order, it could change in the future if the hash table definition is changed. Your provider really needs to use a proper authentication mechanism, or you need to restrict that peer/user entry to their IP address(es) if possible. -- Kevin P.
