Static NAT is definitely a good solution. But you might also consider
Bridging and do packet filtering on the briding box.

Another alternative is tunneling; that is, use private IP addresses on
the "DMZ" interfaces and tunnel the public addresses to the servers. Of
course, the firewall box has to do arp for the public addresses.
