Hi Mark, Where is the ISA Server? Where is the client that's having the problem? Where is the Exchange Server? What type of external interface are you using on the ISA Server? Are you using ETRN? If so, why? Thanks!

The UUNET mail server is functioning as a smart host for Exchange. This router is directly connected to the internal network. The Exchange machine has its def. gw set to this router. There is an ISA box in the network that was added long after the UUNET router. The clients default-gateway to ISA and also are setup as web proxy clients. ISA runs a DNS server, as does the Exchange machine (synchronizing internal zones). The external interface is connected to a second router that manages a DSL dod connection. The DNS problem with the clients registering themselves with ISA instead of the DC left aside (we will take care of that seperately), my first thought was to connect both routers to the external interface of the ISA box and let the default gateway point to the DSL router. We could then ping the UUNET router to initiate mail transfer to the Exchange. This would work just fine. As to outgoing mails, as far as I know the UUNET smart host will only function when it receives mails from within the UNET network (this would be fairly common). Alternatively, we could also configure exchange to deliver mails directly over DSL to the recipient's MXes but since we have a variable IP there, some mails will be rejected. Is there any way to tell Exchange or ISA how to handle this? I was thinking of a manual route that routes all traffic on the UUNET subnets to the UUNET router, but this would be prone to errors, for instance when addresses or ranges change. Thanks for listening and thanks for helping Mark ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org/ Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
