Domain Auth from Nondomain Computer

Hi,
We have our SQL Server 2000 Ent. Ed. SP3 set up to use Windows
authentication from a Windows Server 2003 domain controller running Active
Directory in Windows 2000 compatibility mode. From the office, everything
is hunky-dory. However, we have many employees that need to connect to the
office network via point-to-point and site-to-site VPN where the remote
computer/network is not a member of our domain.
Is there any way to get a non-domain Windows 2000/XP computer to domain
authenticate against SQL Server with the user's domain credentials? I
really don't want to have to manage a bunch of SQL Server authentication
usernames, passwords and username-by-username permissioning.
Thank you,

If you map a network drive, using domain credntials, against the SQL Server,
when the SQL Connection is made, those same credentials will be passed if NT
Integrated security is used.
It is a work-around and will not work if you use Active Directory with
Kerberos security enabled.
