Hmm. Any chance it's trying to get another IP address from DHCP? (from
your description it doesn't sound like it, but who knows - that 0.0.0.0
address is kinda suspicious).

Yeah, I can't see that working. 0.0.0.0 isn't really an address; more
like a lack of one. That's what's got me wondering about DHCP.

Those IAXys are pretty quirky when it comes to configuration. You might
need to run this one by Digium support.
