Danko,
If your server is behind NAT then from what I know the RTP stream must go 
thru the server. Regarding the kind of internet connection it all depends on 
how many concurent calls as well as what kind of codecs you are using. If 
you want to share your current internet with the phones then make sure to 
set up GOOD QoS.
