This architectural lighting situation calls for the Mental Ray Portal Light to help you achieve a balance between the interior and exterior in a scene. This tutorial by Stuart Christensen will explain how to attach and use this most versatile light. You will be amazed at what this lighting method can do for your Physical Sun and Sky simulations.
