The BB Router can be installed in the DMZ. All other BES components need to be behind the firewall.

A) Yes. No point really though since you will have to poke a ton of holes in your firewall.. If you are not hosting MDS applications BES doesn't require any open incoming ports, so again no point... RIM has a lot of documentation about this.
My Q: If there are no open incomming ports, how does the blackberry sync back to the mailbox if you delete mail on the device?
Is it really necesary to have the BB Server in a DMZ??
Thanks,
