You would need to add static routes on the Cisco to point to the external
interface of the Firewall-1 machine and the interface of any machine you
have on the DMZ.

the use of ip forward to be enabled on the Firewall-1 machine is not good.
Should not allow the machine to forward packets. That is left up to the
firewall softaware. 

No dynamic ip routing on the DMZ.

Have the external interface of the firewall and the interfaces of all
machines on the DMZ have a default route pointing to the perimeter Cisco
router.

Have all internal machines behind the firewall have a default route
pointing to the internal interface of the Firewall-1 machine.

Check using ip numbers (pinging) for the test. This would confirm routing
is performing as expected. Next move onto DNS (split dns hopefully) and
try by host names.

Good Luck
