apple were doing it last year.  we had NAT and DNS UDP
plugged through a firewall.  it worked at the plugged
site, but not at the NAT'd sight.  it was horrible to
trace, due to to the complexity of the environment and
the physically distinct sites.  i got it eventually.

it also explained other weird things with certain other
web servers, whose DNS servers we similarily configured.

i think proxies and/or plugs are a much better idea than NAT.
