Thanks Chris, Based on what you have said I assume that only bridgehead servers can choose alternative routes rather than a dedicated mailbox server?
But this would mean that the link state table information is only shared between connector servers? Surely the mailbox server would need to have knowledge of the bridgehead servers and their priority? Otherwise how does the mailbox server know what bridgehead server to send messages to if there were two in a routing group ? Is there a good book or technet reference etc that you can recommend that details how exchange uses alternate routes when connector servers die?
