Creating an Address List with hidden Contacts from AD

Hi,
We've created a new Address List in Exchange 2003 that gathers its contacts from an OU in our AD.  We would like the share that address list with only a few key people but don't want those contact addresses to be displayed in our Global Address List.  The only way I know how to accomplish this is to enable the "Hide from Exchange address lists" option on each of the contacts but then they are also no longer displayed in the new list.  Anyone know if there is a way to perhaps modify the AD OU security to only allow the few key people to see these contacts within our GAL and in the new list?

You basically do not want others to view the contact list  and only want few people in your organization to view that list. right ?

What you want to achieve is called Address List Segregation.

Similar on the lines of what this article states.

Sorry but this article is for Exchange 2007 and we're in 2003.  Does it still apply?
I know that bro,

That is the reason i wrote

You would have to understand what goes through with permissions changes done on E2k7 box - which was exactly the same done by E2k3 boxes.

One question, can you check using Outlook in cache mode - my stint of working with Hosting tells me that downloading offline address book would not work for you - have a look.
