Yep, thats what mine does.
I have voip talk "Manage Incoming Numbers"
screen set like this:

Current Status:   IAX  ->  xxx.yyy.co.uk
(where xxx.yyy.co.uk looks up to my home ip address)

I have my home router set to port forward 4569 to my asterisk box
(it's an NSLU2 actually ) on it's 192.168.0.x address.

My asterisk has no registration in iax.conf.

All worked fine last time I tried.

Only thing is, I have a static IP on my ADSL account, so
it doesn't matter if they cache the lookup on xxx.yyy.co.uk.
