But on the other hand, you could have more control over the traffic flow if you do two SMTP connectors, one based on the first bridgehead, the other based on second.
This way you could set up different costs in address space and force mail to flow through just one of the bridgeheads. Then if there is some kind of trouble with that bridgehead, you change the cost settings and force mail to flow through the other bridgehead. In general, Exchange is supposed to automatically do this kind of stuff based on link state information, but I have seen cases where it just "locks on" a specific bridgehead and does not let go.

I would do one connector based on both bridgeheads. This way if the smart host's name or IP needs to be updated, I won't have to do it twice.

Thanks - I will create the additional connectors..... One more thing relating to this before I create these connectors. I have 2 SMTP outbound servers in this particular routing group - if I want both servers to be able to send to these domains - do I have to create separate connectors on each server for each domain, or can I just create 1 connector for each domain and specify both servers on the "local bridgeheads" setting on the connector?
