Phillip,

Thanks for the response.

Couple of clarifications. We have a LIVE (WS03) server hosted somewhere else
and this "developement" host the same info we have on the live server, so
our jewels are exposed 24/7 already. Maybe I should of said Staging Server?
It's just the site we test prior to pushing content to the live server.
Anyway, we just want the graphic designer, .NET, SQL contractors to be able
to login and make proper edits prior to uploading to the live server.

We actually paid Microsoft $200 to help set this up. I guess we should of
gotten our money back. We told them basically what we're saying here.

Given we want internal users to be able to publish to this server and we
want external users to be able to publish to this server, what would you
suggest we do?
