WIndows 2003 AD functional level, Exchange 2003 fully patched. The company has AD/VPN endpoint sites in 3 locations around the country. For DNS purposes, routing, RDNS, OWA and such wIll the Exchange server need DNS entries that reflect it's own endpoint public IP or can/will it be addresed over VPN using a private IP?

In the general case, can you access Exchange across a VPN without hitting any public IP address or DNS records? Yes. Will that work for your specific environment? Insufficient data. Our Exchange server has a private IP address (RFC-1918 range) and a private domain name (not delegated from public DNS). It has no public IP or DNS. Mail comes in to a bastion host and is relayed to Exchange from there. Our VPN clients connect, get told to use our internal DNS server, query the private name of the Exchange server, and connect to the private IP address. -- Ben
