Yes, I will share the solution as soon as I get it. By the way, you can point your IMC to 2 smtp relay servers. All you have to do is to go to Exchange Admin, Configuration, Connections, IMC, connections, message delivery, Forward all this messages to this host. At this point you can put more than one ip address. Like this: -> "10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2" whitout quotation marks ! you just need to put a comma between the ip addresses. The IMC will send one message to the first smtp relay and the second message to the second smtp relay and then to the first smtp relay and so on... I've already tried that and it works fine. Since it worked fine in IMC, I am going to try two ip addresses in smtp relay "forward all mail to smart host" field, separeted by a comma, like I did in IMC. Lets see what happens. I will let you know. Sorry my English, if you didnt understand something, please let me know.

Mine is only one site but 2 IMC with 2 smtp relay on DMZ. I can only configure 1 IMC point to 1 smtp relay. Without DNS not sure how to do load-balancing and failover between the two. If you found a solution can share with me? The only solution other than DNS that I know of which is not practical is to used a load-balancer. Have a Cisco CSS in-house, I can create a virtual IP and point to the two smtp relays in DMZ, then both IMC just point to this virtual IP. But the CSS is expensive which is used more for load balancing web servers so I am reluctant to used it just for smtp load-balancing. -----Original Message----- From: Dêniz Feital (Chiptek) [mailto:dfeital@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 2:32 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Smart Host in IIS 5.0 SMTP Relay http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hello Experts (not me !) Scenario: The company where I work has two sites, in diferent cities. In each city we have: 1 Exchange Site 1 smtp relay (in DMZ) 1 IMC (Exchange Server 5.5) lots of users. I know I can put more than one IP address in IMC (Configuration, connections, IMC, connections, message delivery, Forward all this messages to this host). I dont want to use DNS at this time. I would like to know if its possible to configure more than one tcp/ip address in SMTP Relay (Server, Default SMTP Virtual Server, Domain, right click on the domain name, general, forward all mail to smart host. Again, I dont want to use DNS at this time. Any ideas?
