MJ,
I'm not sure about hosting the web files, but I don't know of a reason why
it wouldn't work - I just don't know about having a web server running with
files on a different machine. The NAS should be able to join a domain and
authenticate against it just fine - I have it setup that way in my test net
and it works. Be aware that the default permissions are different between
2000 and 2003 server. I think 2000 defaults to giving write permission and
2003 is read-only, so if your directories are set to defaults, you may need
to make some changes when you move them to 2003 NAS.
