Web server inside the firewall

We are running a Gauntlet 4.1 firewall. We allow FTP and HTTP originating from the inside. We have also created a POP3 
plug from inside to a local ISP. We don't allow any traffic originating from the outside.

I have been getting pressure lately to have a web server moved from the DMZ to behind the firewall. The reasoning is 
this will make it easier to access databases on our internal network. 

The web server is IIS 4 on NT 4.0+SP3 with FrontPage extensions. The firewall is in its own subnet. What ports need to 
be opened to make this work? 

What do people feel about this type of configuration. Pros and Cons?

Thanks,

Kevin Tyrrell
