I believe you'll need to forgo dhcp and just give it a static address.
That's what I do. Only servers on the orange subnet anywise.

Note, you can add your orange server(s) to the 'hosts' list with it's
(orange subnet) address, so that computers on the green network can get
it's address via dhcp/dns and access it via its private (orange subnet)
address. Make sure that dhcp is configured to specify the ipcop itself
as the dns resolver for your green subnet.

I'm not sure how blue does this. I don't use blue myself. Instead, I
have my wireless router attached to my orange subnet. This prohibits any
wireless devices from accessing my green subnet. I think blue is
designed more for if/when you have a WAP (wireless card) on the IPCop
host itself.
