Hi Marvin, My configuration for exchange is like this. FE_ISA >> HONEYPOT >> BE_ISA >> INTERNL >> Exchange. The front end publishes the Back end external nic card as the exchange server. My back end ISA box publishes the INTERNAL nic card as the SMTP since I'm using the message screener. I'm also thinking about adding the message screener to my front end ISA. to make sure things don't get into my honeypot as well. -----Original Message----- From: MarvinC [mailto:marvinc@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 1:20 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Exchange front-end and back-end configuration thoughts...DMZ http://www.ISAserver.org I'm wondering if anyone care to share their thoughts on configuring an Exchange 2003 front-end back-end setup. I've read a few articles, well one, that states this is a bad idea and I'm wondering if there are other ways to do this using ISA2K4? Any responses are appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: josephk@xxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
