Prior to diving in head first, we did some testing. We built
an ISA server, installed Exchange 2000 on the same machine
and configured exchange to handle mail for companyname.NET.
Currently all employees use email from an ISP at the domain
companyname.COM.
Seemed to work very well.

Then we jumped in.

We Setup the whole company behind ISA on SBS2000 which is a
pdc for the domain companyname.COM, with exchange 2000 on a
separate machine as member server. ISA server has two NIC's,
1 with a public IP (ie: 206.47.85.xxx), 1 with an internal
private IP. (ie: 192.168.16.xxx).

I made DNS HOST and MX entries on the ISP's servers for the
exchange server at the IP Address of the ISA server.
I ran the secure mail publishing wizard.
I setup an outside client (outlook 2000) to connect to an
exchange server. put in the FQDN of the exchange server and
it responded asking me for username, domain, and password.

When I click send and receive, I see dialing, waiting for
connection, a quick flash of another dialogue box I can't
read, and no errors. But no mail either. no send, no
receive.
I know there are two mail messages in the administrator
mailbox. If I Terminal into either the exchange server or
the ISA server (thus on the internal network) I can send and
receive mail internally.

Now to my real question;

How do I setup the exchange box behind ISA to handle mail
for the companyname.NET domain. I need to do this to do
proper testing. I can't use companyname.COM until it is
working perfectly, as the employees use the email as part of
their daily work.

I'm stuck.

Thanx & regards
