I am setting up a Proxy server that will be used by a business unit that is in a separate domain. Our domains do not have a trust relationship established.

When I am installing NT Server, is there a way to install the server on the foriegn domain?

In other words, I am in "Domain X" and I want to create/install an NT Server (standalone) that will be a member of "Domain Y". How is this done without trust relationships?

SHould be no problem adding it to one domain and accessing it from either. No trusts are involved when you are using proxy, although if you use other than IP addresses such as WINS or DNS names, the server should be made part of these databases on both domains or networks.

install this server in the domain you require and configure it as a stand alone, do not worry with relations , as long as the network protocol is compatible and can reach the other servers you should be fine. you may infact want to set this one upand domain controller also on this domain so you have the room to expand if needed.
Just make sure you have functions running such as wins and dns.
