Yes, the H.323 protocol family is a nightmare in terms of complexity 
and it simply doesn't play nice with NAT or reasonable firewall 
configurations.  My recommendation would be to block the H.323 protocol 
entirely and use something else rather than compromise one's security.

This is a hard problem which may not be solvable without paying license 
fees for proprietary H.323 resources and documentation.  Have you 
looked into getting a commercial firewall which supports H.323 proxying 
via NAT...?
