Exchange servers should NEVER go into the DMZ - the reason for this is that it is totally pointless.
You are putting a domain member into an insecure environment - for it to operate effectively, you will need to swiss cheese your firewall from the DMZ to the internal network.
If you want something in the DMZ for security, then the ISA server you don't have is what it should be.
