You are going down a road that you do not want to go down. You understand that in order to be a FE server, you have to be running Exchange Enterprise edition, right? (ok, if you run Exchange 2003, you can run Standard edition) The only ports you would have to open up from the outside to the FE server would be 25, 80 and/or 443. However, the problem is that you must open up additional ports betweeen the FE server and the BE server, and between the FE server and the DC/GC's. Opening these ports makes it not worth it to place it in the DMZ. Now, if you just want to place a SMTP Relay server (don't mistake that term for Open relay) in the DMZ, that is much safer to do.
So, what is your end goal here? FE/BE setup, or SMTP Relay server?

Which ports do I need to open to make this work. Is there a KB article that you guy could point me to?
