[Asterisk-Users] Problem registering Asterisk Dual Server

Yes, you will need open udp 4569 on the firewall(s).

If you use type=user and type=peer contexts in both * boxes, you
don't need the register statement at all (after opening the firewall).
See example at the bottom.

Below is an example of a working type=user and type=peer without
the register statement prior to livevoip going bankrupt.

;[livevoip] ; for incoming calls from LiveVoIP.com
;type=user      ; used for Incoming calls
;secret=mysecret
;deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
;permit=217.160.244.186/255.255.255.0
;context=livevoip-in
;disallow=all
;allow=gsm                         
;trunk=no

;[livevoipout] ; for outbound calls via LiveVoip.com
;type=peer      ; used for outgoing calls
;host=217.160.244.186
;username=myuserid
;secret=mysecret
;disallow=all
;allow=gsm
;trunk=no
