I would look at setting up OpenVPN on each of the Asterisk boxen and
running SIP between them. I have read that IAX2 is much better now,
but I have had many major voice quality issues with it.

With OpenVPN, all Asterisk boxen appear to each other as being on the
same subnet. This gives you ease in using SIP and added security on
many different facets.

Thanks,

The answer to your question depends on the QOS you desire. If you are
concerned less with call quality, and more with price, then the previous
solutions are certainly adequate. If call quality is important to you, I
would recommend going with a VOIP provider that has a private network, that
way your calls don't get switched to the public internet. When calls are
switched to the public internet, quality issues are much more likely and
random. WIth a private network your calls will be of much better quality and
problems are less likely. Also, I have no experience with multiple Asterisk
Boxes myself, but I have heard it can be tricky to cluster them as it seems
you would be likely to be doing.
