I've been through similar. Please don't discuss FrontPage/FrontPage Server
Extensions in my hearing. [I did get everything working properly with Apache
1.3.13 on RedHat 6.1]
Do you mean you must be able to view streaming WindowsMedia files through
your network (serving is a slightly different issue)?

Pardon, it is working properly.
Transparent UDP streaming would require a module (I don't know of one).
This is do to the fact that the initial connection is made via TCP 1755 and
UDP 1755 but the return connection is on a separate UDP port 1024-5000.
Kernel Masq code has no way to tie those separate connections together.
(That's also why ftp and RealAudio need modules.)
You can pick a single UDP port per viewer and port forward, this requires
setting the udp reception port on each client. WindowsMedia Player, view,
options, advanced, Streaming media, change.
[I do not think that the new RealAudio module will currently handle it,
though the source might be extended.]
I am receiving streaming content on TCP 1755 (not the TCP 80 fallback, one
level higher)
ipchains rules I use:
--
ipchains -A input -i $EXTERN -p tcp --sport 1755 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A output -i $EXTERN -p tcp --dport 1755 -j ACCEPT
--

It is the same issue, different handshaking though.
For QuickTime streaming: just replace the ip_masq.raudio.c file in
$KSRC/net/ipv4/ with the new one (links below). If you've already compiled
modules, touch the file (so it's recognized as newer). Then compile and
install as normal.
ipchains rules I use:
--
KVER=`/bin/uname -r`
# real audio proxy (not the one from the kernel sources)
# http://members.home.net/ipmasq/patches/ip_masq_raudio.c.tgz
if [ -f /lib/modules/$KVER/ipv4/ip_masq_raudio.o ]; then
insmod ip_masq_raudio
ipchains -A input -i $EXTERN -p tcp --dport 7070 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A input -i $EXTERN -p tcp --dport 554 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A input -i $EXTERN -p tcp --dport 6970:7170 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A input -i $EXTERN -p udp --dport 6970:7170 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A output -i $EXTERN -p tcp --dport 7070 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A output -i $EXTERN -p tcp --dport 554 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A output -i $EXTERN -p tcp --dport 6970:7170 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A output -i $EXTERN -p udp --dport 6970:7170 -j ACCEPT
