Thanks for all your responses.

The goal is to make the internal and dmz network communicate via one single
protocol such as ospf over the firewall. Our firewall admin don't like to
turn on ospf on their firewall, the only thing left to do is to talk bgp
over the firewall to allow that communication, so I think bgp is the choice:

 internal router -------ibgp --------firewall --------ibgp-------dmz
routers------ebgp---------dmz clients
