Hello, Jacob

I�m new to this list and as I was looking at the configuration below I
noticed that your External and DMZ address ore on the same Class B Subnet. 
That may be a big part of your problem you might want to try subnetting them
down a bit as I wouldn't think you need all those address for a firewall.  I
agree with Amit Kaushal in that you should use a non routable IP address in
the DMZ as well as your internal (Trusted) Zone and then use NAT to the
external (UN-trusted) Zone.  Depending on the firewall your configuration
will very for passing your customers traffic through to your web server. Is
the webserver in the DMZ a Caching server or your primary web server? (You
may want tunnel outgoing only to update your Caching Server)

  Hi Jacob-
  
  What you could also do is:
  
  put the webserver outside the firewall. 
  Allow only HTTP and SSH services.
  Connect for updation from your internal servers using
  a rsync/ssh combination.
  
  Put the firewall between the corporate LAN and the
  webserver.
  
  I am assuming here that the webserver does not have
  your Company Internal Data.
  
  If it does have, then I would just build an extranet.
  Put the webserver inside the firewall and have NAT as
  Amit said. This can be implemented smoothly.
  
  But, I guess since you want to allow public access,
  the above route of putting your webserver outside
  would be a better option.
