Okay, I reread your second paragraph. It's no more valid on second reading than on the first reading.

Third Para I have read the document (many times in the past...) you have the cart before the horse. MS support document states (paraphrased) "replicate in physical environment *then* if it is the same they will support" http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=897615 Fourth Para You were looking at the wrong DMZ type, there are many. cheers Dean -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley Sent: Friday, 2 May 2008 12:16 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 2007 questions DMZ stands for De-Militarized Zone. Putting a front-end server, what with all the dangerous ports you have to open, in the DMZ is tantamount to militarizing it. A web publishing appliance or ISA server in the DMZ is the proper device to put in the DMZ because it's designed to be in a DMZ. If you put your <insert Exchange front-end server here> in your DMZ and it's compromised, a much more likely possibility in a DMZ, then you're just about equally screwed. As to the VMware argument, you're arguing apples and oranges. In fact, Exchange on VMware is supported up to the point where it is suspected that the virtualization is part of the problem. You're welcome to read Microsoft's statement. I've been to the DMZ. I've looked into it from above, I've walked into a tunnel under it. And there were no Exchange front-end servers in it.
