What is best practice for this and why? My server is windows 2003 standard

edition and it is running .Net web applications on the internet. The

application performs authenitcation to one of two domains depending on the

user being authenticated.

If it's a web server and you're doing domain authentication then you've

violated all the standards for security - if a user can domain validate

and reach your lan from the DMZ then you've screwed your security.

Then are you saying the web server in the dmz should be in a work group

instead? The web application itself is authenticating users to AD?
