As far as I know, Asterisk would use the default Linux/Unix routing 
algorithms to send packets out, in which case yes: responses may not go 
out on the same interface packets were received on.

E.g. if you receive packets with non-LAN IP addresses on eth0, while 
your default route is set to eth1, in the absence of custom routing 
Linux will send the responses over eth1.

There are ways to overcome this for specific situations, but no general 
method that I'm aware of (though I'm happy to be corrected).
