This is what I do between the two Asterisks I run, as well as for my
connection to FWD.  It works fine.  However, I notice that when an
incoming call arrives, it's logged on the Asterisk console as
originating at the _peer_, not the _user_.  With this in place:

[general]
register => USER:PASS at iax2.fwdnet.net

[iaxfwd]
type=user
context=default
auth=rsa
inkeys=freeworlddialup
host=iax2.fwdnet.net

[iaxfwd-gw]
type=peer
username=USER
auth=md5
secret=PASS
host=iax2.fwdnet.net
qualify=yes

...everything looks great.  I've got the registry in place, the user
is defined to use the specified key for authentication, and the peer
is reachable.  Calls in either direction work.  However, incoming
calls are shown as coming from, say, IAX2/iaxfwd at iaxfwd-gw/5.  If I
remove the host= line from the [iaxfwd] entry, incoming calls fail, so
it is obviously _using_ that entry to authenticate FWD.

This feels like a bug to me.  Or have I misunderstood something?
