True, but the fact is that if you run Windows 2003 *SBS* (Small Business
Server) *at all*, then it *must* be the primary domain controller for your
one (and only) Windows domain. Otherwise it's not "SBS": you can't use SQL
Server, Exchange, SharePoint, etc.

Running an SBS network behind a leaf/bering firewall is a great idea, and
easy to do without changing the standard SBS configuration in any way.
