Wikis, OD Masters, and a "What if" Question

I have several Xserves running 10.5.3, one has an established website and external IP, the others are accessible on the internal network. The public IP server is a OD replica; one of the internal servers is the OD Master. I have been attempting to ignore the Web Administration caveat that wiki and ical servers must be on the OD Master with limited success, at least with the wiki part.
What if I made the external IP server, currently an OD replica, into a subordinate OD Master? Would this be doable? Would it enable properly running wiki and ical on the external IP server? I really do not want to remove the existing (internal) OD Master server....
Page 69 of the Open Directory Admin manual says:
You can use cross-domain authorization between an Active Directory server and a Mac OS X v10.5 Open Directory server or between two Mac OS X v10.5 Open Directory servers. Cross-domain authorization does not work on a Mac OS X v10.4 server. To use PAC information, the pseudomaster server must have a Kerberos realm for the subordinate server to join.
To become a subordinate for a directory system you must use Directory Utility to join your server to an Active Directory or Open Directory server that has Kerberos configured and running. Then, using Server Admin, you must promote your Open Directory server to an Open Directory master. The subordinate server automatically determines that it is subordinate to an Active Directory or Open Directory server and configures itself accordingly.
Has any one done this? Problems? Does it accomplish the goal of having functioning wikis and ical server on the external IP server together with the existing internal OD Master server? Will I end up with conflicting systems? Will the LDAP directory become a mess?
Thoughts, suggestions, etc., would be sincerely appreciated.

Since this is about "what if's"... what if you tried to run it on a Virtual PC, then made an image of that VPC, then put that image on a different volume?
Just curious
