Creating a mail distribution list on exchange or on the outlook client

Hi

We use exchange 2007/Outlook 2010.I have been asked to create a mail group for 60 external contacts.  Only 5 users within our organisation will be using this mail group. What is the best way of doing this. The 50 users in the group may change  every year.
Creating as contacts in exchange and creating a distribution list and adding them into this group will be ok /just creating a mail distribution list local on all 4 users outlook client and adding all the contacts one by one.

Please suggest.

Thanks

If I create as external contacts, this will appear in the GAL and list becomes quite big.

Is there a easy way of creating the contacts on the server or do I have to manually create one by one.

Hi Simon

If you say outsource it , does it mean creating the mail group on the Outlook client.
Also not clear of : Most of the bulk email services will allow a list of that size for free.

Thanks
