Here you go, Liby: 1. If they're both using the same email domain (example.com), then you can't control what country receives the external SMTP email. You could list both Edge servers' external IPs as MX records for the domain, but it would be pretty random as to which country receives. You MIGHT be able to use a hosted antispam/mail routing provider to provide this type of logic, or maybe use a hosting provider and rewrite the addresses from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and have some logic there. But in any case - once the mail is received by a Hub Transport server -- it'll know how to find the right site and get the mail over where it belongs.
2/3. If memory serves, this is just part of the Receive/Send connectors. The Edge servers are going to have a different logic depending on which type (I think both are created automatically -- but I don't deal with Edge servers on a daily basis. The Technet articles for Edge/Hub subscription should provide more than enough detail). See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266920(EXCHG.80).aspx 4. Autodiscovery is based on an FQDN (autodiscover.emaildomain.com/path or emaildomain.com/path). If you want to make those stay local and not travel across your site-to-site link, just ensure that the DNS name above (in that order) will resolve to an Exchange server locally that has the service running.
