you can: 
    1) use the other interface for the DMZ ( but you lose 1 ip for the
router's interface)
    2) forward traffic sent to the public ips to private ips
        ej. 
            ipfw add fwd privateip,80 tcp from any to publicip 80 setup
keep-state

You have the same bandwidth, unless you buy more!
