This is actually perfectly normal behavior depending on what sort of NAT is in 
place and what happened. Essentially what IAX2 does is before actually 
transferring the connection directly, it will make sure that it will work. The 
IAXy talks to Teliax, and Teliax talks to the IAXy. What happened is that they 
weren't able to talk directly to eachother so they kept the connection through 
your Asterisk machine.
