Re: NAT's
2 routers won't help, the ports can only be forwarded once, the answer seems to be to use UPNP, along with static DHCP assignment (IP address reserved to client device hardware mac on router). The static DHCP assignment is needed to prevent the devices swapping addresses, which may cause annoying issues.

NB. If your router does not give open NAT to a single box using UPNP, then it won't be any better trying to do it with two.
