If I remember correctly the list had a similar mail regarding SuSEfirewall2
and DMZ ...

And it was said FW_FORWARD had to be used to be able to connect to the
server on the DMZ-side.
I am not sure if it is possible without ...

so I believe it should say something like :

FW_FORWARD="sourece ip/net,destination ip,tcp,80"

and open up the ports :

FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="80"

FW_SERVICES_INT_TCP="80"

FW_SERVICES_DMZ_TCP="80"

(if your service is located on port 80)

when you say the packages are dropped, did you open op de respective ports
in the FW_SERVICES_EXT and FW_SERVICES_INT ?
because All traffic travelling to the DMZ HAS to pass the firewall ... no
matter what !
and not opening the ports on the int nic and ext nic could cause your
packets to be dropped.

Chris
