I want to implient OWA for internet users, and feel that the most secure
method is to have a front end architecture. This will offload the SSL
processing as well
Can both the exchange front and back servers both be on the LAN segment,
with a pix forwarding port 443 only to the front end server. The back end
server is not accessible from the internet

For example

                                                port 443
<<Internet>>------------<<pix>>-------------------------LAN SEGMENT
---------------------Frontend
                                                                      
                     ---------------------
Back End




WIll this configuration work?
