RE: OWA front end server - licensing and security

You could throw an OWA front end server in the DMZ, put certificate on as Ed suggests, and then wrap everything up in an IPSEC packet that goes between the front end and backend. Between the client on the net and the front end, you would use SSL, so just open 443. -Original Message-
