We are a small company with a DMZ and and internal network. We have Active Directory with domain controllers set up on our internal network. Right now our email server and web servers are on our DMZ as stand alone servers. I'd like to have an Active Directory domain on our DMZ to develop trusts between those servers and our internal servers so user authentication is seamless. We don't have the money and resources to install separate domain controllers in the DMZ. I'm wondering if I can set up Windows Small Business Server in our DMZ with an AD domain. Make the other web servers member servers on that domain. Establish a trust between then two. And possible move our email server internal and use the Exchange server on Small Business Server to be a forwarder. Thanks for any input.

Is there any other way to establish a trust with our DMZ so we can use the same logins?
