I would create a subnet different than the DMZ subnet for behind the CSS. He needs to make sure the "real servers" default gateway is the CSS and not the pix.

Currently, we have other sites which the real servers are on the
inside network along with the css's. these real servers have default
gateway of the css. Since being on the same network, static routes
need to be maintained for real servers
to talk to each other that are on the same network. static route  on
real servers says to talk to that host send traffic to css. Its
getting a bit messy as the number of real servers continue to grow.

I was looking to get away from maintaining these static routes and
figured to put these new servers on a new subnet. there was an
available interface in pix so this is where Im trying it out from. It
seems like I would need a translation on the css, as Tony had
mentioned in his reply?

here are the configs currently.
