I have heard the if you put vonage in front of everything so that it
has the public address and then everything else is behind the vonage
box, that it can then handle QOS better.  But it is supposed to work
behind nat as well. Obviously if you are nated behind a firewall that
is blocking the required ports then you will be out of luck if you
can't poke the proper holes through.
