When you say to put the public dns server on the internal network(dmz) Would you assign an internal IP address to the dns server? i.e. EXT NIC 216.x.x.x INT NIC 10.0.1.1 DMZ DNS NIC 10.0.1.2 Then to get outsiders looking at what is registered in the domain name space that is registered domannam.com = 216.x.x.x or would it be a private ip as in 10.x.x.x? What would be a best practice publish to with this setup? Thank you, Joseph -----Original Message----- From: Thomas W.

How did you configure the VPN so that services didn't fail when try tried to start up and the VPN link was not yet established? Thanks!

That includes automated restoration of the VPN and all services in the case of either the server or ISA or RRAS going down. Or are you looking for solution minus VPN? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas W.

OWA will only send authenticated requests to the BE Exchange server. However, you will win a special prize for giving a step by step on how to make the member server on the DMZ participate in domain activities (including the LDAP queries required by FE server to a GC server). Of course, we would have to be able to replicate the configuration to give you the prize. :-) Thanks!

What about OWA FE? The only choices I see are 1) publishing it on the internal firewall and allow incoming HTTP on outside firewall, or 2) putting it in the perimeter network with a VPN to the ISA firewall. In either case an http attack getting past the external firewall and compromising the OWA server, would have access to the internal net. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas W.

But an SMTP server on the DMZ, and have that SMTP server RELAY to a publish Exchange Server. Publish the Exchange Server and make is available ONLY to the SMTP server on the DMZ.

Since the DMZ in a three--homed ISA is a subnet of the external subnet, you have to use a /30 mask for the DMZ, giving you only 2 usable IPs; one for the ISA DMZ NIC and one left for a server. Is the Exchange server an E2K variation? If so, placing it in the DMZ is more trouble than it's worth, given the issues related to AD membership across a firewall.

Sorry for the duplication. Just thought I'd see if anyone was online tonight with some ideas. J Hello, I'm using 10.0.0.1 for illustration: I have 10.0.0.1/29 (8 IPs, 32 per C) as my ip address. IP'S .1 and .8 are being used by my ISP. .7 is assigned to my CISCO 776M ISDN router. That leaves me with 5 ip address to use. .2, .3, .4, .5, .6 EXT NIC 1. = .2 DMZ NIC 1. = .3 DMZ servers would be .4, .5, .6 If I split those into something like the following .4 sql .5 web .6 DNS I run out of address and won't be able to place my exchange server in the dmz. and Internal NIC private could be 10.0.1.0 Is there another method that will work just as well so I can publish my Exchange server? ------------------------------------------------------
