Really?  Failover, a.k.a High-availability (HA) is certainly possible in the
Exchange architecture.   Otherwise, what is the point of Exchange
clustering? :)

Umar, I think what you're trying to accomplish, referred to as failover,
isn't possible in a stock Exchange environment. There are third-party
products that you could use to accomplish that. Check out Veritas
(www.veritas.com), Neverfail (http://us.neverfailgroup.com), or just search
on Google for exchange failover.

Regards,

Greg Lara

Ok i found out abt the MX records implementation. I learnt that 2 MX records
can exist one for each machine having exchange 2000 configured to receive
email for the 2 domains. Both will have some cost issue involved which will
set the priority. I got all that. What confused me now is that how will both
the MAIL SERVERS replicate data amongst one another. Both should contain the
same mailboxes right to be able to replace each other...plz drop in some
ideas...

Umar
