It sure can be done. But you will have to open a lot of port on
your firewall. And you know what this means : NOT SAFE!!!
Better off with OWA using SSL. The OWA server being inside the
network. You just redirect the HTTPS connexions fron the firewall to the
OWA server.
You don't really gain anything putting the OWA part in the DMZ. OWA acts as
what I call MAPI-by-proxy so the number of holes you need to punch in the
internal firewall basically denigrates your DMZ.
