That's not quite what I'm looking for, and I know that I can get the 
whole Asterisk process to listen on a different port. I need Asterisk 
to listen on multiple ports at the same time.

port=5060,5061,9060

I have customers who are being blocked by firewall configurations. 
Actually, "broken" is a better term, since the PIX is horribly 
stupid, and you _cannot_ turn it's stupidity off.  So I need to have 
Asterisk listen on multiple ports so that the calls can get around 
the firewall - their Cisco 7960 devices can be configured to use 
different ports.
