How many people at this remote site, and how heavy do you expect the traffic
to be. I have three remote sites connected with point-to-point T-1's. They
each have an Exchange box hosting about 150 mailboxes, 25% to 30% of which
see moderate to heavy use. No separate Exchange site, no x-400 connector,
and no IMS at those locations, with no observable ill effects. YMMV.

Subject: Exchange Server Rearchitecture
Hi all:
I have a few questions as I head out to install an Exchange 5.5 box in our
remote office. First here is what we have going on:
- HQ has 3 5.5 servers with IMS's pointed to a sendmail mail-hub
- These three servers are all in the same site and org.
I am going to be placing another Exchange server in a remote office on our
WAN which is connected via a point-to-point t-1.
With this connection and subsequent new Exchange server should I:
1.) Look at making another site, connecting via an x400
or
2.) Just setting it up with another IMS but I don't think that is the best
thing.
Also, if I do this connector and join up the two sites should I not do a
connector through the three machines that are in the different site and have
one IMS that routes to the sendmail host? Or should I just sit with three
IMS's?
I have not done an x400 connector before so I am leary about how to and what
my concerns should be.
Thank you,
