Its just a big no no no no no NON, NEIN,
There are loads of reasons why not to - as you have said you have
googled this and been inundated with reasons why not to so I wont put
you through the pain
Can't you get the client to tunnel up to the firewall using IPSEC or
similiar and then allow NetBIOS/TCP 445 or 139 from the endpoint onwards
if needs be?
Latency issues will still be a pain when tunneling due to some overhead
on building and maintaining the tunnel, CIFS access doesn't work well on
a WAN anyhow
I take it the orientation is internet --> DMZ and not Trusted --> DMZ?

Subject: Shared drives through a firewall
Hello Group;
I am trying to persuade a client NOT to map a drive through two
firewalls to an untrusted server in a DMZ to run an application. I've
tried Googling Netbios and security, but get so many entries as to be
useless.
Other than the latency issues, and my ten cents that it seems to me to
be an enormously foolish idea, can you folks offer me any further
ammunition?
Big Thanks if you can
Eigen
