Why can't I convert the DS3 input to SIP Output, no transcoding, straight G.711, all in one box?
Yes, that is what you would want to do. Probably even better would be DS-3 to IAX, and try to get trunking support for G.711 working to keep down the IP overhead as well.
Yes I know the bandwidth from a DS3 to SIP calls means I need 2 DS3's worth of space back out the door.
Not a big deal; use a server with dual PCI-X busses, put the DS-3 card on one and a GigE card on the other. You're still only pushing 120-150Mbps over the bus combined, which is not a problem at all.

I was just about to say follow the IAXy model (Just a wee bit more channels!) and make the box speak IAX instead of SIP/H.323. I also suggest setting up this standalone DS3->IAX box to have each channel assigned to a specifiy asterisk box. While an asterisk box may be able to run 600+ channels at a time, other limitations come into play, such as hard drive access for VM and other applications that run on the machine either seperate from asterisk or as a module/AGI of asterisk in which CPU and other resources can cause lag times, reducing the number of channels that can be processed jitter free.
