I can sign that immediately.

I am not using asterix yet, but I am having VoIP phone behind IpCop and 
never had a problem yet.

About the SOHO design you mention, the only limitation it has is that 
you can only have a single green network (internally subnet), but you 
can abuse the blue (designed for WLAN clients) and the orange(DMZ) for 
that too.

And I think for version 1.5 it is planned to have multiple green network 
possible.

But I think you should go to the IpCop users newsgroup and ask there if 
it suits your special needs and if somebody already has a config like yours.
