Wireless Access External From LAN?

[Carlosinfl]

I have been asked if this is even possible and I decided to ask here simply because I am not sure.

Currently I have a very standard domain / LAN with a DMZ for my external accessible servers. The company wanted to see about having a WAP stood up that is external to our LAN however does give users a gateway to the Internet while in the building. Wireless AP's are strictly prohibited from the LAN due to how in-secure wireless is however since they're not going to need access to any LAN servers and using their own Laptops, could this work? Can I place a WAP on an interface on the PIX firewall or anywhere beyond the LAN which allows users to surf the web from inside our office and not be connected to the same physical network?

How are you connected to the internet, and how many public IP's do you have?

At my place we have FIOS with 5 IP's, I just use 1 IP to run a router with wireless in our conference room; this allows visitors internet access without needing to attach to our internal network.
