We allow XBox Live service and allow users to connect to each other in the halls but we do not allow them to host games out to the internet.

We have more and more students wanting to get their Xbox's and other gaming consoles on the network. We have decided to allow it. However there is a problem with them being able to connect to each other on the internet - inbound ports. They are requesting inbound ports being opened. Due to our NAT and DHCP this would be ugly at best. However security is our biggest concern. Have your students been asking for this? Has anyone found a way to give the students what they want securely and easily?
