Likely that you would need such a flame suite...  However, you'd get the
same type of response if you asked if you should run WSUS on your Domino
or Notes server too... 

A firewall, however, is really a special purpose device meant to monitor
and control connections.  You don't want to install any software on it
that may interfere with those functions.

ROFL.

I'm well aware that a firewall should be a single shot use - but the
same for the exchange server :/

I was half expecting this response, but thought that things may have
changed :)

On the other hand, you'd need a three layer flame proof suit if you
asked that question on an Exchange list :)
