Both work.
If you have enough IP addresses to dedicate one to your Asterisk server,
that removes one node in the path from the world.
You will need a firewall on the Asterisk server to protect it from
outside meddling.
If you can put the Asterisk server on the same network as the SIP
devices (using a second NIC) that should help performance.
Is the SIP network on the same network as your internet/data LAN?

I was wondering if anyone can give me any pointers or insights of
whether or not to have an asterisk server behind a firewall.
I have always ran Asterisk on a public IP but was wondering if I
should move it to a local IP behind a firewall.
I am looking to set up a location with 300 SIP phones.
Normally, I would put the Asterisk server on one public IP and let the
SIP phones get DHCP from a router on a different IP and they would
register to the Public Asterisk server from that IP address.
Should I move the asterisk server behind the same router?
If so, how should the server be set up and what is the best
router/firewall hardware to accomplish this environment?
Thanks,
