Yes, lots of folks use this for things like Internet-based e-mail, and other
services primarily used by internal employees.

No, although clients will receive an error that the certificate was issued
by a company that they do not trust. An effective work-around is to provide
them with a page where they can download your internal CA's certification
path. This can be done by publishing a web interface to a subordinate CA to
the Internet--just make sure you secure the CA site using basic
authentication and SSL.
