Yep I am using pfSense 1.2.3 with a static IP. I have port forwarded
UDP SIP and the UDP RTP port range to the private IP of the Asterisk
box. I have enabled manual outbound nat and configured the static port
option. If you use the automatic outbound nat it will randomize the
ports, which you don't want. My sip.conf looks like yours with the
externip and localnet set. When I do sip show peers I see the external
IP.
