I seem to recall you can put a server in a DMZ with the 2wire.

The one and only time that I played with the 2-wire I came to the
conclusion that the router device is designed for a residential use and
that the only way to put a server fully out on public ip space was to
configure it to use DHCP and then use the Qwest 2-wire software to
assign a static IP to the DHCP system. It was stupid, pointless and not
usable for normal business usage.
I am fairly hard core in network setup where I want to run my own DHCP,
BIND, fixed IP addresses on servers & printers and the Qwest 2-wire
modem simply doesn't cooperate with my standard configuration
methodology.
