External contacts in sharepoint profiles

Hi all,
Is it possible to import external contacts into sharepoint profiles,
thereby making them searchable in People Search? I am currently
planning an intranet solution for a customer based on MOSS 2007. In
addition to the regular AD users, they want to have external contacts
shown when doing a people search.
Our first approch was to create the external contacts as Contacts in
AD, and the change the LDAP filter to include both users and contacts
when importing profiles, but apparently this is not possible. It
generates an error that "The user account name can not be resolved
within the Directory Server".
My next thought was to create a custom DB with all external contacts,
and add this DB as a import connection to the profile import job. I
have searched the web but I have yet to find any usefull information on
this.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks,
Rasmus Aaen
