Some thoughts:

1) Stick the OWA server onto a screened subnet
2) If running Exchange 2000, be prepared to open up Active Directory
domain authentication between the OWA box (front-end) and the Exchange
Server (back-end). As I understand it, Exchange 5.5 allows for a little
better segregation between the front/back-end.
3) SSL the OWA box
4) If possible, drop a host-based IDS on the OWA box to check the IIS
logs, system files etc. Network IDS for the screened subnet is even
better.

These are just a few best practices specific to OWA.
