"If there are 2 distribution points that are in the same category above, a distribution point is selected at random."

Won't it pick the nearest site, which would most likely mean the local subnet? If the nearest site is unavailable it will only go to an available fallback status point which is usually the Primary Site. Anyone know the official statement from Microsoft on this topic??? Where are my MVPs at?! :) Brian ________________________________ From: michael.dzikow...@ally.com<mailto:michael.dzikow...@ally.com> To: mssms@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:mssms@lists.myitforum.com> Subject: RE: [mssms] Is it possible to have IBCM and Windows Azure Cloud?

On setting up IBCM site system in the DMZ and Windows Azure Cloud? I want to be clear here are the specifics. In other words, is it possible to have a SUP/DP/MP in the DMZ for HTTPS communications AND a Cloud Based Distribution Point? How would the client know where to go? Seems like you would only need one or the other. ________________________________ From: michael.m...@1e.com<mailto:michael.m...@1e.com> To: mssms@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:mssms@lists.myitforum.com> Subject: RE: [mssms] Is it possible to have IBCM and Windows Azure Cloud?

For 9.99 you can get a Kindle version of it, well worth the price with the Kindle app on IPad or Win 8 From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com> [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Dzikowski, Michael Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2014 10:38 AM To: mssms@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:mssms@lists.myitforum.com> Subject: RE: [mssms] Is it possible to have IBCM and Windows Azure Cloud? I haven't researched it, but what about having the DMZ on premise Distribution Point and your Azure Cloud Distribution Point both be part of the same Boundary Group?

Here's a valid question. Can you use a DMZ/IBCM server and Windows Azure Cloud DP? To me, this isn't making any sense. How could you possibly use both? How would an internet client know where to go from one in the DMZ to the one in the Cloud?
