OWA and IIS haven't exactly had the best record.  Add in password 
guessing and a pipe in to an AD or DC, and the upsides don't 
look all that  attractive to me.  Now, if you're talking about a VPN'd 
segment off the DMZ, you could perhaps minimize the risk, but I don't
think 
I'd advise my  closest competitor to field OWA on their DMZ as a strategy 
without some  more serious and direct protection.

As I might face a similar situation soon, how about this scenario:

Put the OWA in the LAN, and a reverse Proxy (Squid prefered, but ISA-server
if necessary) in the DMZ?

After all, OWA should only need port 80 and/or 443, shouldn't it?
