No. NetBEUI is not routable; devices connected using NetBEUI
essentially need to be on the same subnet. A few firewalls I've seen
have a mode where they can work as a *bridge* rather than a router;
while necessary, this is not sufficient for your needs unless it also
allows (and, preferably *filters*) NetBEUI.
I think what you are trying to do is a natural progression form an
approach that binds WINS/NetBIOS only to NetBEUI to ensure that it
isn't reachable from the Internet. Unfortunately, that approach only
works for small single-segment networks (you probably shouldn't use
NetBEUI if there are more than about 20 hosts on your network); once
you introduce segmentation, subnets, DMZ, etc... wll, you've
outgrown NetBEUI at that point.
