Paul,

Your  solution is as follows: NDS for NT.

If your server is an NT domain controller,install
Netware client 32 ver 4.7 on it, and then install
NDS for NT product. , and your NT and Netware 
accounts will co-exist. In fact, the passwords
 between NT and NW will be synchronized, and
 you'll manage the domain
via the tree. 

If your application requires the server
to run Windows 2000, and not NT 4.0, then, here's
what you do : Make the NT-2000 box your application
server, and put as a separate domain. Make your existing
NT 4.0 server a domain controller, but likewise separate
domain. Create a one way trust between the Windows 2000
machine and the NT 4.0 machine. Make the NT 4.0 machine
have NDS for NT, as suggested above. Then, the NT 4.0
server will be managed via NDS, and the application server,
running Windows 2000 will likewise be managed via NDS.

                                      Good luck,

                                            Alex G.
