[dba-SQLServer] Licensing Question for SQL Sever 2000

Hi All,

I don't know if any one here is a licensing guru for SQL Server but I was
wondering how people deal with the following scenario.

If I have a web server running IIS that connects to a server running SQL
Server 2000 by using the anonymous account in IIS and have 20 users who use
the web application on the web server for 5 mins a month, do I need a CAL
for each of the users (20 User CALs)?
I did read the FAQ on MS's site about Multi-Tier environments, which in
essence answers my question with a resounding YES I DO, but I wanted to know
how people deal with this scenario in the "real" world.

Thanks!
JR
