Hosting a FTP server

I have a need to host a FTP server on a LAN with approximately 55 clients.

All of the clients need to access the FTP server to read and write.

Rather than open port 21 on the NAT firewall and forward the traffic onto a
local LAN IP address (insecure), I plan to put the FTP server on the router
DMZ (secure).

As the DMZ is designed to let LAN traffic access the machine on the DMZ, but
deny access from the FTP server onto the LAN, what is the correct way to
setup the FTP server?

Presently, the FTP server is loaded with Windows 2003 Sever R2 and is part
of the Windows 2003 domain, off the DMZ.

Should the FTP server be a member of the Windows 2003 domain?

TX for help in advance

Maurice
