You will offer a proxy on the firewall to the public net, and then it is not longer a firewall, it is a reverse proxy. If you have read the building of an apache as secure reverse-proxy, you will have seen that you have to make a lot of hardening and extra compiling. Put an extra hardened Indian in the DMZ, this is the only secure way.
