Modify my idea. I just saw the caveat.
I would have put up a second website on the IIS server than answers to
mail.myplace.com using host headers and set up the DNS to point to that. Then
add the meta http code below to the index page for that.
Perhaps the second website as I suggest for mail.myplace.com and the index page
is:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="1; URL=www.myplace.com/exchange">
But I am unsure of that, give it a test.

DNS CNAME pointing mail.myplace.com to www.myplace.com<http://www.myplace.com>
Your default index.htm page at the website
www.myplace.com<http://www.myplace.com> is this:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="1; URL=../exchange">
Watch the names on your Certs so you don't get a mismatch.

Say I want to redirect mail.myplace.com to
www.myplace.com/Exchange<http://www.myplace.com/Exchange>, how do I do that?
It's a DNS entry and....what? I'm looking to make it so users don't have to
include the /Exchange piece in the URL, so them typing mail.myplace.com takes
them to the OWA page (Exchange 2003).
Caveat: Server in question also hosts a regular www site and is not dedicated
to just Exchange.
