Our Exchange server sits in a DMZ protected by our PIX firewall. It's a separate network segmented off from our nat'd network(s). Some people think DMZ means a network segment where the hosts are wide open and sometimes I guess it does, but this isn't the case here...only the specific ports needed are available and in/out traffic is strictly restricted.
Regarding Win2K pro vs. server, my thoughts were exactly the same before I even spec'd out the hardware, that I would need a server class machine but when I spoke w/RIM prior to purchase they made a point of telling me it could run on Win2K Pro. I think Im going to blow away my BES server and install Win2K Server, reinstall the Blackberry software and see what happens. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
