I've done Vonage setups where I plop the Vonage unit behind a NAT router and it works.
A friend of my wife was on the phone with her last night..and complaining about the Vonage and choppy voice and occasional drops. Wife yells over to me "Hey, Andrea is complaining about <blah blah>....and how some of their computers drop from the network..."..so I get on the phone with her. Small office, little Stinksys router, 6x computers (small office)...I ask her about the Vonage setup, cordless phones, this, that, 'n the other...saying probably need a more powerful router, one that supports QoS better..and then she mentions that they have 2x Vonage boxes.
So I'm guessing that more than 1x Vonage box behind a traditional router..cause some issues...if you want to use both at the same time? According to this link after searching their site for a bit....it is supported..

..but I'm picturing the Vonage units fighting for ports/services via UPnP on the router.
