what is the configuration we have to do from out side.
I want my peoplesoft application to be accessed from outside the network from any system on any browser.

Well, there are more than one way.
One of them is create a Webserver for your intranet usage (inside the DMZ), and one other Webserver outside the DMZ for extranet usage. This second one should be allowed to go through your DMZ with specific protocol and port.
A second option, much more complicated, could be build two Peoplesoft env (I mean database, appserver, prcs and webserv), one inside DMZ (for intranet) and one other outside the DMZ (for extranet). For that one solution, you'll need to use and/or build some mechanism to replicate the data.
That depend what you're allowed by your security/network admin to show outside your company's network.
Sometimes (and I worked on such system), internal data are not allowed to be access by extranet, so, the second option is used, with data replication only from outside to inside the DMZ system.
I'll try to see if there is documentation on such system.
