DNS Round Robin is great in theory. But not so great in reality.

I recommend a LB or ARR. I’m really enjoying ARR and WAP.

Not catching what you are asking, but you can load balance both the CAS and 
Mailbox role with a multiple server. You just can't use Windows NLB, which I 
would never recommend anyways since it is evil.

There is no longer a CAS Array or a requirement for persistence in Exchange 
2013, so you could (in theory) do DNS round robin.

If you had a DAG then could the passive member multi role CAS still load 
balance the connections in an array to the active DAG member?

I say do it, as long as it's properly sized. It makes for an easier model to 
scale, and helps in troubleshooting also (logs and everything are in one 
location).

I was talking to a friend who had been advised from Microsoft to put CAS and 
Mailbox role on the same 2013 server that is in a DAG with about 1000 
mailboxes, interesting to hear if anyone else has gone this way or your 
thoughts?
