When Asterisk is running on the same device as NAT, does this make the
device an "intelligent router/firewall"?  

In other words, is the SIP proxy in Asterisk smart enough to translate
IP address & tcp/udp ports as needed?  Will it also add/remove rules in
the fw (or provide a hook for an external function/script to do so?)
