Is the requirement for dynamic rouuting? If so, then BGP would be the best
solution for something like this, provided that the routers on the inside
and outside are capable of using it.

Unless the PIX is in transparent mode the RIP will not get accross the PIX
as the TTL of a RIP packet is 1.

GRE is an option but then it will not be possible to inspect the traffic
within the GRE as all traffic will go over the GRE.
