   I happened to have a smidgen of time on my hands and went back to
dialpad's site. http://dialpad.com/support/faq.html#firewall appears
to give the necessary info for building your rules to use dialpad
behind a firewall or a NAT box.
   Possibly further discussions about how to get the various VoIP
(dialpad, netmeeting, etc.) should move to the IPFW list since they're
pretty specifically FW questions. Yes?

P>> Not a problem, the only thing you have to do to make dialpad work is to

P>> that 1 machine.  Here's the ports to redirect:
P>> 51210 tcp
P>> 51200 udp
P>> 51201 udp

P>> Since it's easy for me to find, here's the commands I was using when I

P>> redirect_port   tcp     172.20.172.3:51210      51210
P>> redirect_port   udp     172.20.172.3:51200      51200
P>> redirect_port   udp     172.20.172.3:51201      51201

P>> this was in my /etc/natd.conf file. Of course, replace the 172.20.172.3 with
P>> whatever the IP# is for the machine you want dialpad to work on.

P>> I just switched to a ipf/ipnat setup, so I have those commands handy too,
P>> here
P>> they are from my /etc/ipnat.conf:
P>> rdr xl0 208.0.0.0/8 port 51210 -> 172.20.172.3 port 51210 tcp
P>> rdr xl0 208.0.0.0/8 port 51200 -> 172.20.172.3 port 51200 udp
P>> rdr xl0 208.0.0.0/8 port 51201 -> 172.20.172.3 port 51201 udp

P>> I am using 208.0.0.0/8 to make sure it works with my dynamic IP#

P>> Hope this is what you needed!
