Roger,
Thanks for your reply. Local accounts is not recommended, as this interm
solution could go for months - yr. Also, we have 2 front end servers using
NLB, so it would be a mess.

We have to do exctly what you suggested, but HOW exactly to implement it?
Please provide some steps, as I am new to AD admin.

Users come from internet, over the firewall to the frontend server inside
the n/w.
All we need is http/https access to this machine by these users.
What GPO settings, templates should we use to only allow this and nothing
else?
As of now, I created an OU in my virtual machine AD, and added a new Group
Policy. I have to now configure that GPO to implement what you suggested, but
HOW?

Please provide your valuable input.
Thanks,
Vamsi.
