But the IP address of your firewall must be reachable. Otherwise no one will
be able to access it. Now, if you only get a private IP address from your ISP,
then there is no way that you will ever be able to run a public web server
there.

I do not have external (public) IP's. The SuSEfirewall allows reverse
masquerading with private IP's as far as I read here:

*What if my Server has a private IP address, how do I enable external
access then?)
