Yes, that's the scenario in the series that I included the link to. Just
leave out the stuff regarding giving the BE Internet access and bag the
default gateway.

Keep in mind that even though you have a route relationship, that
doesn't mean that you can't use Server Publishing Rules, because you
can. Its all in the DMZ doc series.
