that's the idea of a typical DMZ. servers within the DMZ should not be
able to connect to internal computers, only the way out should be
allowed.

with only ip_forward set to 1 (do you
mean /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward??) you will not achieve anything, the
best you can do is to setup is a route, but I doubt that the firewall
between DMZ and internal net will allow LAN bound traffic.
