Actually i'm using Polycom 501's behind nat and i have no issues.<br>what i usually do is putting static routeable IP for asterisk and using nat and qualify in sip.conf.<br>no issues for me so far.<br>i'm a big fan of Polycom phones, quality of voice, working great with asterisk and low failure rate.
