What is the secure way to share data between Intranet and Extranet?

Hi,

I have the scenario where I have one database and need to allow to see the
information accessible from Intranet and (future)Extranet. I wonder what is
the most feasible and secure way of doing it without buying second license
for MS SQL and duplicating data. So far I am leaning towards Web Services
but we have ideas for MySQL, XML and using FTP to transfer the data in
files. Which way is the most secure and feasible or is there something else.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Tom

Well, first I would ask "Are the website (I'm assuming that's what you mean
by Extranet) and Intranet going to be on the same network?". If they are,
all you need to do is set the appropriate permissions for the directories
you want on the Intranet, Extranet, and neither. If they are not on the same
network, I would probably go with Web Services. ASP.NET Web Services use XML
to transfer the information. You may also want to ask some of the other
newsgroups that are more about IIS and networking, because there may be
other ways as well. Good Luck!
