As far as I know you could use another Exchange 2000 standard installed and conected to the other one saving you the money of an Enterprise edition.
Just installing as another server of the organization, but not creating any mailbox on it. Only to use OWA, configuring circular logging. I like to supose it must to solve your needs.
BTW I agree about the cost involved in an Enterprise solution.
Another solution could be "publishing" your internal OWA through a Proxy or ISA server. I haven't do it yet, but many tolds me it works fine.
I haven't heard about the front-end license. I suggest you call direct to MS or an official dealer.

Asunto: Any comments to Microsofts "new" license for Exchange 2000
regarding the OWA as a "front end" server?
Does anyone have any comment to Microsofts "new" license for Exchange
2000 regarding the OWA as a "front end" server?
OWA 5.5 was a free to use asp-application. The OWA 2000 demands that you
install an Exchange 2000 Enterprize!!! server only to host the OWA.
Standard edition won't do...
We use Exchange standard edition internally and now we'll have to buy an
exchange server enterprice license, only to use OWA externally... 3500
BUCKS! I think it's robbery! I'd accept an dedicated OWA (front end)
server license if it existed, but not this.
We are a quite small company, about a hundred users, maby 15 external
(OWA) users. We need OWA, but just can't pay up for an extra license.
