Yes, this can be done easily, but my end goal is asterisk which needs
a large set of ip's natted. So vbox NAT is not a good solution

You first need to install the bridging utilities. In that case you don't need DNAT/SNAT as the virtual machine will be on the host network with its own ip address.

Yes, this is the easiest, however I don't want to use another ip
address, it's at my ISP's facility

I did get it to work using HostOnlyIf, as long as you use the supplied
vboxnet0 interface it all works great.
