You can run just about anything you want in an iFrame, but if you want to take advantage of the DNN login, users, and built-in permissions, it is my understanding that you cannot use generic ASP.net "applications" (like the referred-to forums) as integrated DNN modules.
I think that ASP.net defines the overall Microsoft language/environment, underwhich DNN works. Beyond that , I am not sure how to explain their relationships (not a "coder")
If you are looking for a robust DNN forum and cannot wait for the upcoming release, I can highly recommend ActiveModules' ActiveForums.
If you are looking for a free DNN forum, I can also highly recommend Presstopia's quite killer, free forum module.
If your community is centered upon a fully featured, totally killer, forum- I would look beyond DNN as your framework.
