For sip realtime static you have probably read:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+RealTime+Static

However, NAT/qualify for SIP(users) is perfectly possible with
"dynamic" realtime:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+RealTime+Sip
And `sip_buddies` table gives extensive opportunities(including nat and
qualify).
And there is the advantage of using it(realtime), you do not need to reload
when a new user comes. (This is valid for the needed extensions and 
voicemail attributes, as well)

Sorry for twisting a bit your question, but basically "realtime static" means
to store a .conf file into a database(in which case you must delete
its equivalent from /etc/asterisk); "realtime" is when you store
users, peers and friends into the database, keeping the skeletons of 
sip&iax2.conf files in /etc/astrisk. In that case the "users, peers and 
friends" sip or iax2 info is being read "on the fly". The appropriate 
extensions though, must be
addressed with "switch => Realtime " statement from extensions.conf.

Since all .conf files exist they have precedence. Also register=> can be done
only from a .conf file.

Hope it helps.
