I once designed a prototype where the authentication interface was
located on the outside of the firewall; the firewall had 3 interfaces:

- one inside, IP less, bridged to the outside if
- one outside, IP less, bridged to the inside if
- one outside, with private IP, used for authentication

But it was an homemade system and was not very reliable.

Of course.

Of course too.
