I don't plan on opening any ports up outside the firewall - only using port 80 by the use of a VLAN. So basically the only way to do this is through a pop up box that authenticates clients ? I thought there would be an easier method in doing this without pop up boxes.
Thanks,

     The number one reason that this isn't done is because it essentially
     requires LAN-style communication between the client and the server. And
     I'll be damned if I've ever meet anyone that wanted to open up the entire
     host of Windows authentication ports on their web server to the outside
     world.
     
     Systems like Passport (I'm not advocating Passport, just using the model as
     an example) are the optimal way to get around this. People are going to
     have to authenticate themselves to your site--you should want them to do
     this. And by using a well designed application, they'll only have to do it
     once, which is about as good as it gets.
