iis security : IIS Authentication using external database?

I am runnning a website in ASP, and want to use the basic authentication
method to validate my users.

However, rather than create windows accounts for each of the millions of
users, I want to store the usernames and passwords in a database. I am
currently using a form to authenticate, but it looks a little tacky and I
want to use the standard authentication window. Is there a way I can do
this?

Thanks.

I don't think you can do that. if you using your own authentication scripts
(e.g. asp) to check against user in sql server, you only able to manipulate
the asp. Those dialog box popup is for IIS authentication and invoke by IE.
