This is the definition of a SIP proxy. Asterisk is a PBX that supports SIP, but
not really a SIP proxy. As a PBX, it wants to be in the middle of a call. As an
additional feature, it can release the media stream to the SIP devices if these
are on the same network, either outside or inside of a NAT, but not on two sides.
And this only works if the device supports a SIP re-Invite.

Use SIP Express router from iptel.org if you want an excellent open source SIP proxy.
