Exactly...so no sensible person would put a DMZ domain as part of their internal forest.

Now..about that KB article..it would seem that a trust (forest or downlevel domain) isn't supported between the DMZ and the internal domain.

What is microsofts SUGGESTED plan of action for a DMZ then? This is silly.

A separate forest, managed from within the DMZ-- Personally, I would not set up any type of trust between the DMZ assets and my internal assets- one way, or otherwise, even if it were supported. I would never have any sort of retrievable credential exist on a DMZ unit that could be used on my internal network. And I would not allow the required traffic through either. In fact, in my back-to-back ISA DMZ, I don't even have a domain controller in the DMZ- each box is a member server with distinct admin accounts. Yes, harder to admin, but if a box in the DMZ gets owned, they'll have to work at the other ones, and by that time I'd know about it- Then again, I don't have that many servers in the DMZ...
