Keeping your iSeries behind the firewall is a very solid idea. A good rule of thumb is, if you don't need to allow general Internet traffic access to a corporate system, don't.
The second rule of thumb is, if you don't need to open a port through the firewall, don't.
Most firewalls offer a secure encrypted VPN option that is often quite easy to set up and use. Once connected through a VPN, you can access the server as securely as if you were on your internal network.
