Yes, and also (port-)restricted cone NAT won't work...

UPnP isn't widespread enough and cascading NAT won't work too (just want 
to be shure to take into account all possibilities ;o) )

Ok, so the conclusion is to use a clustered solution with one public IP 
and some kind of heartbeat.

Well, thanks for the insights anyway.
