That is the very essence of why I think NAT in the long run is a bad =
idea...
What good is a phone that can't contact another phone. One of the main
advantages to VOIP is that you can achieve some level of provider=20
independence
and still have phone service. Sure, you need some level of ISP, but, you=20
can
have more than one of those and SIP still works when one is down. If you
are dependent on a particular company running a proxy, then, if they hose
their stuff, you're out of luck.
