Matt,
You are right to be cautious about remotely administering the machines
in your DMZ. Have you considered connecting to your internal network using
VPN? I'm not aware of any free VPN servers (exept that OpenBSD has P2P VPN
abilities) but that would be a good way to protect your communications and
it can be used by others for remote access. I would not use any of the
products you have listed below. If the www server is a unix box you 'could'
use SSH but still not as safe as VPN.
