expose 1433 on net

I need to exposed 1433 on the net to enable a IIS6 pages to query remote SQL
servers.
Im looking for information on how to do this as securely as possible
(although im sure this is not ideal) ?
At the moment im using SQL authentication only.
Thanks for any information
ScottWhy not install SQLXML and take advantage of the easy stored procedure to
web services tool. Then you can apply an SSL certificate and have your web
site only talk to SQL Server over TCP 443. It's safer, it's encrypted, it's
extensible, and it's more portable. It's SOA!

Currently my aspx app on IIS6 queries SQL on an IP addresson port 1433 and
pulls back XML.
How do i install SQLXML ?
Use the web service tool ?
Setup SSL ?
(guess I just forward port 443)
Sorry for all the questions
