Great!  I just wanted to be sure this change doesn't mess up any bridgehead 
functionality.  I'll get a Cisco CSS (load balancer) and point Webmail, SMTP, 
IMAP & POP3 to these servers.

FE servers don't run anything that requires a store such as SRS, public 
folders, reroute via store functions, etc.  
 
The advantage of getting rid of the webmail server (this is a FE server 
correct?) is that you have less hardware overhead in your server room.  The 
downside is the performance and any issues you may have if one of the 
applications gives you a hard time and requires a restart.  Less flexibility 
we'll call it. 
 
Outside of that, running OWA and SMTP on the same machine works like a champ.  
If you're OK with that, I'm OK with it ;)

We currently have (1) Mailbox server (2) Bridgehead Servers and (1) Webmail 
server.  Would it be ok to get rid of the webmail server and make the two 
bridgehead servers front-end servers?  These bridgehead servers connect all our 
AG's (15) to one central location.  (Hub & spoke config)  I know that FE 
servers cannot run SRS, are there any other limitations?
