Heatsinking a surface mount power resistor?

[treez]

Hello,
We are dissipating 2 Watts in this CSM3637 surface mount resistor, any tips on how we can heatsink it?

CSM3637 series power resistors...

We thought of bringing loads of thermal vias through each pad to the bottom of the PCB to pads there, and then sticking a thin insulating pad over the bottom pads, then glueing a heatsink to this pad....is this the best way?
