xorl,

First of, are their any ports currently open, possibly TCP 80 and/or TCP 443? If they are open you could use LWP::Useragent to access a page on your intranet server. The page on the intranet server would handle the AD testing and return a yes/no answer. You could then parse the output on the DMZ server for confirmation.

If there are not any ports open, you could set up a host to host rule on the firewall (Even though you said you wanted to avoid this), where inbound traffic is only permitted from the DMZ server address to the intranet server address. A rule like this is safer than just opening up the port to any internet host.

Hope this helps.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
