[Serusers] Problem running SER behind firewall

I have a problem running SER behind firewall. 
Here is the network diagram:

|UA1|--|FW1|   +--|FW|--|SER| 
         \    /               
          +--+                
         /    \               
|UA2|--|FW2|   +--|MediaProxy|

Where, UA1 and UA2 are Xlite soft-phones behind their own firewalls. SER
is listening on private IP address 192.168.4.217. FW has public IP
address 66.134.1.34 and forwards port 5060 to SER.

The ser.cfg file is pretty much copied from SER getting start guide. 
When UA1 calling UA2, the call established fine but UA1 will hang up by
itself after ~30 seconds. The captured IP packages on SER revealed that
the last ACK received from UA2 by SER was sent to FW IP address. Since
port 5060 is forwarded to SER on the FW, it caused a looping situation.

The ser.cfg is listed at the end.

Thanks in advance.
