FE/BE architecture does not dictate DMZ placement.
The other advantage for FE/BE is process distribution.

OK

Place your FE behind ISA and enjoy the dual benefits.

You mean put exchange server on the private LAN and publish its services on ISA public interface (pop3,smtp,OWA,Imap, HTTPs/RPC)?


Thanks,

Daniel

I really would not, but I can't leave my mailboxes on the DMZ and I need
to
have
a commom user database for authentication (AD on the LAN). I can accesss
it
via Radius or LDAP/kerberos.

A general  solution for mail systems (to don't leave mailboxes on the
DMZ)
is FE/BE architectures ok?

Ok I agree exchange server has a complicated communication with the DC!

but what to do? using other mail systems like linux/postfix or other,
they
negotiate FE/BE intercomunications better?

Publish the mail server and planting it on the LAN no condition, ok!

What's is your suggestion?

If I understand (exch FW? -->means exchange firewall?,  BOBOI? --->means

internal LAN?)
You suggest put exchange on DMZ, leave mailboxes on it and duplicate
user/password database
form AD, i.e, every new user add in external and external AD?


Thanks for you feedback Jim,

Daniel.
