What about creating a non-ARS web front-end that pointed directly to the forms (menu? list of links?) you wanted to allow outside access to? That should be pretty easy for a Java/XML programmer to do. The only other way I can think of would be to create a separate mid-tier server that lives outside the firewall, and redirect all the traffic that goes there to the shorter list of forms (maybe put them in a separate application, and only deploy that application to that MT server?).
