The (current) problem is that the registration program does not ask which 
ethernet card you wish to bind to, nor does it look at the Asterisk config 
and use the MAC address of the ethernet card whose IP address is referenced 
in bindaddr (as an example).  It grabs eth0 and runs.

The use of a USB ethernet dongle is actually a really simple, clean and 
utterly effective method of doing this, though!  Bret's use of function call 
remapping is even more slick, but kudos for definitely thinking outside the 
box on this one, wow!
