DMZ Web Server and Internal SQL Server

I have a .net web application that is running on a w2k server located in our
DMZ it has a private address. The SQL server is also running on a w2k server
but it is located in our private network. I have opened port 1433 on the
firewall from the DMZ to Lan and from Lan to DMZ. Since neither server knows
the other excist I have added an entry in the local host file of the
webserver in the DMZ that points to the internal SQL server. Does an entry
also need to be placed in the host file of the SQL server? Also what would
be the proper connection string in the web.config to link these two servers
together? And would anything need to be done on the SQL server?
ThanksYou may need to specify the IP address of the firewall and 1433 to allow
the connection to succeed, since the client won't know how to resolve the
netbios or host name of the server.
Thanks,
