Description of my issue:

We are using RSJoomla firewall for security reasons, we are placing configuration.php and log and tmp folders outside the installation (like we also do with the backup files)

I there a way to have Akeeba work in this way?

Akeeba Backup works just fine, but you will lose all your customised configuration.php content (e.g. site name, metadata information, email settings and so on) because there is no other way for Akeeba Backup Installer to retrieve this information.

That said, I consider moving your configuration.php file outside your site's root totally misguided. It has nothing to do with security. I have even blogged about it: http://www.dionysopoulos.me/blog/134-keep-your-files-where-i-can-see-them.html Please read this blog post so that you can make an educated choice.
