Thanks for getting back to me. We currently have a range of four IP
addresses provided to us by our ISP on our DSL line. These addresses all
have the same subnet, so does that mean I have to purchase a different
range of address or can I some how make this work in my DMZ.  

Thanks.

Hi Michael,

the way you constructed your trihomed ISA configuration will never work.
Your main problem is that the DMZ subnet *must* be public ip-addresses
and your DMZ subnet has private ip-addresses. In a trihomed
configuration ISA is doing routing and packet filtering between external
and DMZ interface, no NAT/PAT is involved.

I suggest you take a look at:

p very good presentation on the different DMZ scenario's
- the learning zone on www.isaserver.org

Hope this helps,
Stefaan

I am trying to configure our email to go through our DMZ which currently
has a mail relay server, and I'm having a hard time getting email to go
out. This is how I would like it configured.

ISA SERVER = Trihomed   Mail Relay = 192.168.XX.XX  Exchange =
10.80.XX.XX
Public = 63.68.XX.XX
Private = 10.80.XX.XX
DMZ = 192.168.XX.XX

Email comes in and hits the ISA server (63.68.xx.xx) which has a SMTP
protocol rule pointing all incoming email to the Mail Relay server
(192.168.xx.xx). The Mail Relay Server than has a Remote Virtual SMTP
Server established on IIS to point all incoming email to the Smart Host
which is exchange(10.80.xx.xx). This configuration works fine for
incoming email, but I can't seem to get things to work for outgoing
email. When an internal users tries to send email, it first hits the
exchange box, which has a SMTP connector  pointing to the Mail Relay.
The problem is that the mail relay server wants to send all incoming
email to the exchange server, this obviously becomes a routing problem.
If I tell the exchange server to use DNS instead of putting in the Mail
relay server's IP address, the email goes out but avoids the mail relay
all together, which defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do.

I have read a few articles and many of them mention the mail relay has
to have a public address, but this then opens up the Mail relay server
for intruders.

Thanks in advance.
