Here are the reasons that I know of to keep GCs and Exchange servers
separate:
-GCs can create a relatively high amount of replication traffic, depending
on your forest topology
-a GC on the Exchange server adds not only the DC and GC replication loads,
but will also service all functions
I'm sure Chris will add his thoughts on the subject, but my thoughts on the

I originally questioned about RBL's for exchange because we host a large
.com whose main stay of business is free web based email.
They have 100k plus users and get spammed to death. We have content
filtering tools, we can blacklist known spammers, and we can even shut down
ip's at the router.
What is it about your routing table that is causing the looping messages? Is
it possible for you to remove redundant routes, even just one or two, to see
what happens?
