Some good points there.

We have our Outlook Web Access server (a separate box) installed on our
internal LAN, and it's visible to the Internet (SSL only) via reverse-proxy.
The MS Exchange server is in its own domain, with a one way trust
relationship set up between the main domain and the Exchange domain.  It was
the most secure solution I could come up with for our LAN.
