I cannot be sure on that Olli.  But any port forwarding or 
translation method should work, so long as the external address is 
used consistently in the config files on both the FreeSwitch and 
OpenSim sides I think.

Make sure your firewall ports for H.323 call initiation and for the 
or used for the type of call made is also open.. that's covered 
already in the Freeswitch wiki page firewall section. Its 
configurable. Basically open ports 1720 and 5060, and maybe 50505 
must be open for listening for the default setup indicated in 
OpenSim.ini (for 0.7.1 dev master its in  OpenSimDefaults.ini and 
must be copied to OpenSim.ini remember. Dynamically assigned ports 
are used for specific call traffic. The usual H.323 and SIP traffic 
dynamic port handling on modern firewalls usually enable this.

I added some more notes on the wiki for advanced users who want to 
change the behaviour when joining calls, single user on hold music 
turn off etc. We turn all that off in the freeswitch config file for our usage.
