Exchange 2000 OWA via the internet

We are considering using a Network Appliance NetCache in a DMZ as a proxy to allow Internet access to our internal Exchange 2000 OWA servers. Is anyone else using this setup? How does it work out? Should we spring the extra $$$ for SSL on the NetCache, or just let the otherwise bored FE servers

I think you will be OK, but if at all possible, add more RAM. I have run win2k/E2k in 256MB and just logging in and running system administrator thrashes the disk continuously. The textbook says you should use two of your disks in a mirror for the Exchange logs, but with 50 users, I don't think

Oh goodness, I hope you have asbestos undies on! POP3 connectors are generally considered the spawn of Satan in these circles. Don't let the flames get you down, there are limited cases where a POP3 connector can work well (such as mine: one-to-one mailboxes, no fixed IP address). I don't think

1. Use a windows 2000SP3/IIS5 server for OWA. It will be more stable, and probably more securable. 2. Install IE 6 SP1 (You'll need it for a later step). 3. Run windows update and install all of the critical updates. 4. Plop the Exchange CD in the server. Select OWA. 5. Install Exchange 5.5 SP4 6.
