I use my Firewall as a smart host, my MX points there as well. My Firewall rules take care of the rest. My understanding of a DMZ is that no machine in it can initiate a connection, so I than fail to understand how a multihomed server in the DMZ is going to help you at all. I further believe you are actually bypassing your Firewall, creating a huge security risk.

What is the preferred way to setup Exchange? I was thinking about multihoming my server but have read that there can be problems in doing so. What about installing a multihomed SMTP relay to receive in the DMZ and forward to Exchange on the LAN and vise versa outbound? I was thinking of forwarding HTTP(OWA) from my Sonicwall Pro towards the Exchange server on the LAN while having the above stated Multihomed-SMTP relay sitting in the DMZ. It would be nice to have Enterprise Edition to setup front-end back-end stuff but my company can't afford that type of system at this moment. Any suggestions? I'm stuck in my own Paradigm and have run out of ideas. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
