Share Free/Busy and GAL between 2 Exch 2007 Organizations over MS Trust

I'm not well versed in Exchange but have been asked to come up with a solution for:

1. Company has two offices in two different locations each with their own Exchange organization
2. There's a Domain Trust setup over a WAN
3. Each site is running Exch 2007 on Server 2008
4. Some clients are Outlook 2003 and some 2007

We need to be able to share free/busy and GAL. We don't want them to sync, so it's fine if a user has to dig to open the other org's GAL. I have found a few ideas on-line for doing this and a couple expensive utilities.

Can this be configured in Exchange without a 3rd party application? Seems like it should...

Thanks e_aravind, the Availability Service looks good. I don't quite understand if it'll work on Outlook 2003 clients, but if that causes issues I require an upgrade to Outlook 2007.

How about the GAL sync part?
