Why not implement a small, stand-alone communication server front-end, based on 
a derivative of the OCS Communication Server, that can accept the inventory 
from the agent, and write it directly into the GLPI database?  This way, you 
could have a host in the DMZ running the Communication Server, and have 
firewall rules only allowing traffic to port 443, and on the back-end, firewall 
rules only allowing MySQL DB connections in to the GLPI DB server?
Nothing prevents you from using multiple GLPI servers sharing the same mysql database to achieve this setup. However, that's a bit twisted, and doesn't offer any actual advantage over allowing your DMZ host to open an https connection to the port 443 of a unique GLPI server outside the DMZ.

The FusionInventory systems offers a lot of potential advantages, but due to 
these security concerns, I'm leaning toward sticking with OCS and a DMZ-based 
Communication Server.
I fail to see any security advantage in OCS. Especially after reading their source code.
