Welcome to the 2 External Interfaces world..

Lots of us has try this, i think Jack Coates has the most experience here with that..
But so far, i haven't heard of any one, with any SUCCESS story..

Seems like u already figure out the problem, getting the FIREWALL to work with 2 
external interfaces..

I got some grey hair trying that for weeks, till i gived up....

cheers
