Can somebody tell me what firewall rules to be set
when connecting an NT web server to an NT PDC?

1.) Don't!
2.) Think again - and don't!
3.) If you think you need it - don't!

The connection NT-webserver and PDC necessarily is symmetrical. You will
probably need to open both tcp & udp 135, 137-139 and 1024+ in both
directions with no questions asked. But with doing that you will grant
the web server and thus all hackers attacking it (seen the latest IIS
exploits yet?) all access to your internal system(s).

So don't.
