crying all the way to the bank.

Remove uPNP from those home user nat boxes and see how well the nat to nat connections work. Office firewalls often 
are heavily restrictive, use proxy layers to deal with connectivity issues and tend to have less typical types of 
traffic.

uPNP will not likely be feasible on LSN. So, yes, you need to do your NAT
testing in preparation for LSN on the basis of what works without uPNP.
