Thanks Missy. I wasn't sure if connections to the backend server would be aggregated, making it more efficient or not.

Example: A remote site uses IMAP4 to connect to the new Exchange server. The bandwidth between the remote site and the central Exchange server is limited and fixed. Is there an advantage to physically locating a front end server (to manage IMAP4 connections) in the remote office as opposed to locating it in the same location as the Exchange server? TIA.
