Shared Contacts for distribution list

We are using Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003/Xp/2002.

We have few users who have several of external email addresses. They
want a distribution list
in the exchange GAL so they can send email out.

I've created a contract-type folder in the public folder and gave them
permission to put their
external email addresses in there. I've also gave them permission to
modify the distribution list
in the exchange server. The problem is when they go to property of the
DL from Outlook, and want
to modify the DL to add members, Outlook does not show the contact-type
folder I've created in
the PF. However it shows it if I want to send a blank email to
someone. Why is this?

Is there other alternative way of doing this?

Thanks

Exchange DLs can't use contacts in Public Folders. They only use contacts
from Active Directory.
