asterisk users - Aug 2004 - IAX2 Port strangeness

For some unknown reason, two of my IAX peers started registering on 
strange ports. Nothing has changed in the config, but they cannot make 
calls to me, however I can still make calls to them. In my IAX2 peers, 
the following is showing:

user1/user1  203.XXX.XXX.XXX  (D)  255.255.255.255  4585      OK (21 ms)
user2/user2  203.XXX.XXX.XXX  (D)  255.255.255.255  11280     OK (37 ms)

I've tried restarting both machines (and our server), tweaking the IAX 
config, but they keep registering on non standard IAX ports. Has anyone 
seen this behaviour before? It was working the day before yesterday.

My version of Asterisk is: Asterisk CVS-HEAD-07/20/04-21:57:01 built by 
root@pbx on a i686 running Linux
User1 is running: Asterisk CVS-HEAD-08/06/04-08:50:34 built by root@pbx 
on a i686 running Linux
User2 is running: Asterisk CVS-HEAD-08/13/04-08:18:35 built by 
root@musique on a i686 running Linux

It's strange that everything was working and then all of a sudden they 
started registering on non-standard ports.

Thanks.

The "strange ports" mean they are probably behind a NAT device that
does
PAT.

But the strange thing is that nothing has changed... their hardware 
remains the same... everything had been working fine for the past 4 
weeks.
