In CVS head you can use the new templates for peers with a section, thus
leaving the [general] settings to unknowns.

You have to set ALL the parameters though, since the channel has it's
own defaults embedded.

Example: If you don't have a context= setting in general, we will use
"default" as the default setting for inbound calls from unknown. THis is
the way asterisk behaves in quite a lot of places in regards to
contexts. So if you do want those calls to be going into a black hole,
you will have to create a black hole context and set it in sip.conf.
