I wouldn't put OWA on a proxy server. Instead, I would publish your internal OWA server through your Proxy server. The reason for that is that you must pass many more ports between an OWA server and the back-end Exchange server than you do for straight OWA traffic.
I would install the SMTP Service on your Proxy Server and configure it to relay your SMTP mail. (See FAQ for more information on that.)

NT 4.0 SP 4, Proxy 2.0 SP2, OWA 5.5 SP4 Machine 2. NT 4.0 SP4, Exchange 5.5 SP4 Machine 1 is multi homed with a private and public IP address. OWA is configured to connect tto the Exchange server on machine 2. When I enter xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/exchange in a web browser I am presented with the OWA logon.asp page. I enter an alias in the box and I am then presented with a security logon immediately. When I add my username and password and press return it takes at least 2-3 minutes for it to authorise me and then display my inbox. I am using Basic (clear text) authentication without SSL. I have scoured the Internet and technet to no avail. This happens on all accounts using OWA. I used the installation guides from www.swinc.com and they mention nothing about a delay in the troubleshooting. I can access other OWA servers properly using the same remote access machines. Any help much appreciated.
