Great, that's for the clarification.

Whether you publish via reverse proxy or just via NAT - the CAS server stays inside. 80 users with 80 GB is tiny. That's a single server, 8-12 GB RAM, couple 500 GB disks in RAID-1 (as small as 250 GB is fine too - but the cost differential these days is tiny - give yourself room to expand). Dual core 1.8 GHz or higher. Done. Regards, Michael B.

OWA is just a website so should (ideally) be published via a reverse proxy. It can be exposed externally as-is, but only TCP 445. Pat.

My main concern is when users access OWA, they would go to the CAS server which would need to be outside right? I think I'm really confusing myself this time. We will have about 80 mailboxes and our mailstore is about 80GB. Jimmy From: Michael B.

The ONLY thing that should potentially be in the DMZ is an Edge server. And if you have something else already doing antispam/antivirus you won't need an edge server. Question #1 & #2: how many users and how large a mailstore do you need to support? Regards, Michael B.

I was planning on starting with a simple setup, 1 cas/hub server and 1 mbx server. I am still unsure of the placement of the cas/hub server because from what I understand, the CAS should be in the perimeter/dmz. Does the HUB need to be outside too? How do you guys have your servers placed in regards to the perimeter and private network? Any pointers would be awesome.
