Hi
I was hoping someone might have a good approach on how to securely expose a IIS 6 intranet site to users outside company network. Building permanent external web infrastructure is not a viable option right now. The external parties are two companies that we do work for, and who we need to provide a web app to which will allow them update (via a Webform) some details on one of our SQL Server databases.
Thanks

Most basic way would be to give them your external IP address and forward port 80 (http) to your webserver. Open firewall for port 80 for their IP addresses only and give them a URL like <your ip>/somewebpage.aspx. Unless you register a domain name for your external IP.
