Why is that - I think I posted legitimate questions/queries with regards 
to the installation, configuration and running of Asterisk - how is that 
"off-topic"?

I disagree - my original questions were with regards to installing, 
setting up and using Asterisk in a multi-interface environment (NAT, as 
well as restricting Asterisk to which interface it needs to bind to is 
part of that process as far as I know). My questions are not how to do 
general NAT - I am perfectly capable of implementing that, having over 
18 years experience with that sort of thing, thank you. My questions 
were more on how/whether Asterisk deals (or whether is capable of 
dealing) with NAT and all the other issues I raised in my initial post.

One last thing though - drop the attitude - if you are not 
willing/capable of contributing anything to this thread just move along 
- there is nothing to see here.
