Create trust between Active Directory and standalone server?

I have 2 web servers sitting in a DMZ and I would like our web admins
to be able to access the servers with their Active Directory accounts.
The web servers are Windows 2003 and are configured as standalone
boxes. The Active Directory is running on Windows 2000. I would
rather not have to use local accounts on the web servers to give them
access because they never remember the separate passwords.

Is it possible to create a trust or to port the accounts without
compromising security and hopefully without using NetBIOS?

Thanks.

One solution would be to join your web servers to the
domain and just have them as member servers. That should
allow your users to authenticate with their domain account.
