I believe the tutorial linked in a previous email addresses this. You can do one of two things. Either you bridge OPT1 to WAN and then all the machines in your DMZ will have public-addressable IP addresses, or you'll want to configure 1:1 NAT. Either solution will work, it just depends on

Echo what Tim said. Given this new set of information about your network setup, 1:1 NAT would be a much more appropriate choice for this particular network. PS... I opted for 1:1 rather than bridging. This gives the servers public addresses, but also allows me to expand in ways not possible
