Thanks for your reply,
Adrian

                Hi all,
                
                Recently posted to the Exchange list but thought this
forum may be appropriate, too.
                
                We currently run Exchange 2003 with FE and BE servers.
                The FE server is in a DMZ, whilst the BE servers are
located on the Internal/protected network.
                The FE servers are only accessed by staff on our WAN and
selected staff via the internet (those with permanent IP addresses).
                We do not use ISA server, although it is on the horizon,
rather using a firewall appliance that performs stateful packet
inspection, DOS, etc.
                
                Currently, the FE server is part of our domain, and i
have opened up all ports between the FE server and the BE server and
DC's in the protected network, whilst restricting access from the
internet to those with permanent IP addresses on the ADSL/cable
connections. If I remember correctly, I can configure the communication
between the FE server and the DC's to be over a single port, which
requires registry hacks, although this has not been implemented.
                
                What are your thoughts, with respect to security, on
allowing general HTTPS access to the FE server for OWA from the internet
without ISA server and with the scenario i have painted above?
                
                cheers,
                adrian
