I think that is a bad idea, even if you can get it implemented and
working.

If I know the names of your hosts (they will eventually be found via
google or other searches), then I can remotely reconfigure your NAT
device to allow my attack traffic thru - and all it takes is a simple
UDP query to your dns server.

And? NAT != firewall. Your firewall would still need to be configured to permit such a connection, and presumably your NAT environment would need to be configured to allow it as well.

If that's not desired, one would probably not enable this functionality.
