Please do not any helpers for ISAKMP in your NAT.
You just make it worse, and it breaks more often.

Instead, you should be providing: IPv6 support	(via 6to4 to get
address space if you do not have v6 on the outside)

Your customers should use NAT traversal for IPsec. This is widely available.
The NAT-T permits packets to originate from different UDP ports.
