No.  All servers should be inside your firewall.  You merely tailor the firewall
to accept and reject various services (FTP, HTTP, SMTP, etc) based on IP ranges,
hosts names, times of the day, whatever (depending on the sophisication of your
firewall).  Having the services on the AS/400 makes no difference.  Your 
firewall
will intercept and determine which services can and can't pass back and forth
between the Internet and your firewall.
