You don't need to use ISA 2004 for HTTP/RPC. You could do regular web publishing from the firewall. You just need the firewall to publish the /rpc virtual directory on your exchange server as secure web (https). ISA is good becuase is gets you to offload SSL and off-load the RPC-HTTP proxy tasks, and do a primary authentication on behalf of the webserver (so un-authenticated traffic never touches the Exchange Server). But if you want the SSL and HTTP-Proxy handled by the Exchange Server, then your TZ is good enough. This is what you need at the minimum (high level overview): (OUTLOOK client) Internet---------> any firewall ------------ Exchange 2003/Windows 2003--------------------domain controlller FiREWALL. : enabled secure web publishing for the rpc virtual directory on the exchange 2003 server.
