samba PDC behind firewall

OK, this is not strictly a samba question.

Is it possible to have a logon server behind a firewall?

I've searched everywhere, and I can't any setting that would allow me to 
set a domain server IP on a win9x client.  AFAIK, I have to have a PDC 
on the subnet of the win9x clients.

Currently, I have the following setup:

win9x clients }
192.168.0.x   }        firewall w/ multiple IPs on one IF   > if to 
outside    
192.168.142.x }                            || if between fw & server
192.168.135.x }        samba server w/ multiple IPs on one IF
              }

What I'd like to have is a DMZ setup:

win9x clients }
192.168.0.x   }        firewall        > IF to outside
192.168.142.x }        w/ multiple IPs  
192.168.135.x }        on one IF       > IF to samba server (182.168.129.x)
              }

How do I get the win workstations to authenticate against samba server?

I'm pretty sure this can be done, but I can't for the life of me find it 
in the archives.

Thanks,
