I long to play with Asterisk myself, but don't currently have the time and resources to devote to it. I don't have a clear picture of your needs and what all you're dealing with, but I was able to pull most of my VoIP loose ends together using VoXaLot:

I have two DID's and an FWD number that I point to xxxxxx@voxalot.com.

I have four outbound providers for PSTN termination (one is default, the other three require dialing a prefix of #n to access them). I have StanaPhone set up as a provider so I can call other StanaPhone users. I have FWD set up as a provider to I can direct toll-free calls there.

Now, with one PAP2 registered on VoXaLot and only one phone line which is wired to all the phones in the house, I can make and receive calls to almost anywhere using the lowest cost route.

The only loose ends I have left are Gizmo Project and StanaPhone incoming calls as neither of these allow forwarding to a URI.

I'm not sure this picture will necessarily help with your situation, but like you, I hope it will give other users some food for thought.
