Deployment: SRS2005 can use SQL2K as ReportDatabase

Can the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services configured to use the SQL2K Server
as reporting database server?
Rationale:
So that I can put the 2005 reporting services in the DMZ and use exisitng
sql2K server behind the DMZ to store the reporting database. Another reason
is that , I don't have to buy 2 licenses (1 for the reporting services and 1
for reporting database). If I have the reporting database on the SQL2K,
exisiting license would cover that.
I am not sure whether this can be done. Can somebody throw some light on this.
Thanks,Yes it's possible to store the report server database in a sql server 2000.
look at the post "RS 2005 with SQL Server 2000" (26.09.2005)

Yes it will work BUT
You need to license SQL 2005 to use RS2005 AND since RS is not a separate
product, you need a SQL license for the computer hosting RS.
