If you are going to keep the web/app server outside the firewall, you just need to configure your datasources on the web server to connect via tcp/ip over whatever port you specify (1433 by default) to the remote machine inside the firewall. You might also want to restrict remote connections to that db machine to only accept them from your web server to further tighten things up.
Otherwise, if your firewall has enough throughput you could do as Ben suggests, which is to put the web server inside the firewall too.
Hope this helps!

I've just been handed a new little project, which involves keeping our public Internet applications up & running while moving our SQL server behind a firewall.
I've researched the SQL side - according to MS, we need port 1433 open
inbound and ports 1025-5000 open outbound (assuming that I'm reading the
documentation correctly and that our SQL server is set up with the
defaults).

Now I need to doublecheck the Tango side. I've not found any info in the Tango books so far. Can anyone tell me if there are particular settings I'll need to plan for to make Tango play well with the firewall? Any advice or experience that you'd care to share?
Thanks very much!
