I appreciate the replies...  IPSec might be the way to go.
The problem with self-containing all the services is that the SQL server that sharepoint needs to use is a DB that is also used internally - we need to share this DB and some of the files with clients. I think a better approach might be to use a combination of the two... putting the sharepoint server in a new AD forest and just opening one port - 1433 - from the sharepoint server in the DMZ to the SQL server in the LAN...

<Disclaimer> what you're doing is a horribly bad idea from a security perspective </Disclaimer>

You might have better luck setting up an IPSec tunnel from the DMZ host to the internal domain controllers, DNS servers (if different) and the SQL machine. You'd be even better off if you made it self-contained. That is, installed sharepoint, sql, AD on the same machine as a separate forest.

This came from a MOM agent in a DMZ scenario kb article and is essentially the same for most of it. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;904866

Basically, you'll need the same ports because you want this to be a member of the domain. From there, you'll have to trace the calls from startup to completion to ensure you have all of the allow rules you need for your specific implementation.

UDP port 53 to support Domain Name System (DNS) queries and dynamic registrations
UDP port 88 to support Kerberos
UDP port 123 to support Network Time Protocol (NTP)
TCP port 135 to support remote procedure calls (RPC)
UDP port 389 and TCP port 389 to support Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
TCP port 445 to support server message block (SMB)

Because this will be a sharepoint server for clients.  Regardless, that
decision has already been made and I don't have any input into it.
Any info on the ports I'd need open?

Why did you decide to put it in the DMZ?
