My question really has three related parts which I hope you can help me clear up –
-
Do I need to enable a Service Broker endpoint on SQL 2005 to use the SQLCacheDependency mechanism?
-
If so, is there a specific port that needs to be used?
-
If neither of the web server machine and sql server are in a domain, what type of authentication is required, if at all? Certificates?

No you don't need enable a service broker endpoint to use the SQLCacheDependency. A Service Broker Endpoint is only used to send SQL Service Broker messages from one instance to another.
