I am adding a question to this scenario, can OWA in Exchange 5.5 connect to servers that have their Information Store on a different subnet?

OWA users should be happy with the DS3, but the issue is backups.  Flames
erupt in the MAIN location as the daily backup finishes.  I'm gonna guess a
changer full of tapes will be the first to go.  At that point, you've got an
enterprise restore in front of you and the REMOTE tape will surely have
directory info that is out-of-sync with the archive tapes that you're now
forced to pull out.  Current IMAGES at each site can be as important as the
hardware--can you use the idle DS3 (at nite) to secure a remote backup (can
fit your window)?

User servers to remain here in house. There is no way in hell am I moving
the user servers to collocation when the LUSERS love to send HUGE excel
files to each other constantly.  IMC/OWA server at collocation to have at
least one machine with a copy of the current directory up and running till
we could restore the user servers.

What impact would having the OWA server/IMC at the other end of that 43MB
connection?  Yes its slower but the OWA users are on that connection inbound
already.  That would just move one of the hops from in front of the server
to behind it.  But will the OWA connect reliably over that DS3 connection to
the user servers from the collocation? 

Thanks for the input guys... I am getting closer to that pros and cons
worksheet I need to turn into the boss.

There would be a bdc, tape unit and other backup servers at the collocation.
The boss wants to get any of our infrastructure that makes sense into the
collocation.
