How about installing another interface on the box (hme or qfe card) 
and ifconfig that second interface with another network.  You can 
stealth the firewall fairly well by not allowing ping, traceroute fw 
control connections, etc.. in policy properties (rule 0), and 
addressing them in the rulebase instead. I never configure servers 
on the same network as the external interface of my firewalls...-BK
