Oops, bad idea, unless you are thinking about going the two factor 
authentication route.  Something they know, something they have.

But if you don't want to squander your money at Security Dynamics.

Are the reports dynamically accessed from the Internet and doing data 
requests to internal machines.

Citrix MetaFrame is one suggestion that comes to mind,
Port redirection is another one that comes to mind.

Hey, hold on, the sleeve on my jacket is like Bullwinkle's, the rabbit 
only sometimes appears.. :)

Hello -- I have a business unit in my company which has just asked that
we
help them enable our external customers to access internal data.
Essentially,
they would like to have our customers hit our 'web site' and be able to
authenticate and then browse a pre-defined set of reports which are
generated
from data residing on our internal database servers, both canned and
customizable reports.

I'm sending out this request to the list, to ask what other folks are
doing to
provide a secure, stongly-authenticated mechanism for doing such a
'portal'
from the outside into the inside data.

Any opinions are welcomed. Thanks, Jim
