I think I understand now what you're looking for. But under an arrangement
like this, how will asterisk know when a phone which had registered from
some IP has re-registered itself sometime later on a different IP? Such a
situation could happen in a dhcp environment. Automatic time-outs may be
able to avoid or minimize the impact of something like this. What other
difficulties might come up?

Although the idea does have appeal, it seems like the increased potential
for problems outweighs any inconvenience incurred by modifying a line in
extensions.conf.
