| What you want to do isn't really a recommended solution security wise.
Two alternate methods I would suggest:
a) use ISA Server in your DMZ to publish your IIS server, which is located
inside your network. ISA Server needs port 443 (or port 80) access to your
internal IIS Server. IIS Server can communicate with AD fine internally
b) put a DC in your external DMZ, as another domain in your forest. Create a
one-way trust between your two domains (since you have Win2000, you can't
use forest trusts IIRC)
