If I've understood your question correctly, you have a website (off-site, not on the local network) that you want to be able to use to authenticate against your Active Directory?
If so, you will need some sort of VPN or other such tunnel between the two 'sites'. A site-to-site VPN will give your web server access to your local network for access to AD, once the firewalling etc is setup. So, first step will either be some hardware at each site to support the VPN, or alternatively you can use the RAS service built into Windows Server 2008 to act as the VPN server.
