RE: ideal setup

Then (if snort doesn't have this already) maybe snort should be used in
non-promiscuous mode if it is run from the firewall because all the traffic
destined for your network has to go through the firewall.

Robert,

I wouldn't run Snort on the firewall for two reasons:
        * Snort will put the interfaces into promiscuous mode
        * running extra services usually isn't a good idea

What about running a Snort box outside and a Snort box inside which 
sends log data to the syslog server in the DMZ?
