Simple.

Make two network objects:
web-ext: 206.65.184.34
web-int: 192.168.0.2

Make sure your "valid addresses" for the internal i/f of your fw
permit web-ext to show up on the internal i/f. Why?  NAT happens
AFTER routing, but BEFORE transmission.

Security Policy Rules:
Any    web-ext    http    Accept    (whatever kind of logtype)

NAT Rules:
web-int    Any    Any    web-ext(static)    =Original    =Original
Any      web-ext  Any    =Original       web-int(static) =Original

Static route on your firewall:
206.65.184.34/32 -> 192.168.0.2

ARP published on your external LAN:
206.65.184.34 == 08:20:d0:e8:68 
	(assuming this is the MAC address of your fw's external i/f)

: ip if its not binded locally to it on one of its interface please
: show me the light =( as you can see im totally lost.

That's what the arp is for.  The arp published on the external LAN will 
cause the traffic to be directed at the firewall.  Once the firewall
gets it, routing/fw1 take over.
