There are two ways to achieve this, and you probably won't like either of
them.
The first is to get a routed /30 or larger assigned and use ordinary routing
to/from the network you dub your dmz. The upside is that it's the pure way
to do this, and it'll work. always. The downside is that you need more
routable addresses.
If you're really short on routable addresses and can't get a routed network,
that leaves the filtering bridge option. Bridge the wan and dmz interfaces,
and enable filtering bridge. Not pretty, but it solves the problem of
getting VPN servers to work.
