Well... there is one difference between the two sites I was comparing... the site that showed the same server for RPC and HTTP has a CAS ARRAY (3 CAS) and that may be the difference. Have I been chasing a problem that doesn't exist? Should I expect the RPC server name to be the actual internal server name and HTTP server name be the external. And when the client takes their notebook on the road it will switch over to what is in the client connections where it does have owa.mydomain.com???
