You can replace the ${IPADDR} variable with anything that you like.
For example I have it set to my machines domain name.  Couldn't you
then you use some fancy DNS stuff to route to the best address?

Also, since I have a dynamic IP for my personal * box I am using 
dyndns.org to set the name -> the current address.  I am also use 
DUNDi between two machines that are both behind NAT without any 
major problem.  It works just as well as IAX between the two for,
me at least.  

Just an idea,
