   If both firewalls support IPsec then you could do double tunnelling.   
   The outer firewall is configured to protect the DMZ subnet and   
   the inner firewall is set to protect the lan.  Thus to connect to the   
   lan you create an IPsec connection to the outer firewall through which   
   you create an IPsec connection to the inner firewall and hence the lan.   
      
   If that all sounds like too much work try running Hamachi   
    on any PCs on the LAN you want to talk to and   
   on your PC on the internet.
