RE: Redundant OWA
If you have a farm of owa servers, it may be worth it to apply the poor man's failover method. In DNS create an alias "SierraMail" or whatever. Write or steal an "Is-Alive" script that removes dns entries for each owa server that does not respond to http or https commands every minute or so. -Original Message- From: Phillip Yan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 1:34 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Redundant OWA Exchange 5.5 OWA This is a dedicated OWA server that has only OWA component installed.

RE: Redundant OWA
Good idea. You could use the demo version of Servers Alive! to do that quite easily.

RE: Redundant OWA
That information is cached by IIS I believe, so unless you stopped and started the IIS service it wouldn't matter if you could add more than one entry (but you can't). You could write a batch script to rewrite the registry key and stop/start the IIS service I suppose. -- Chris Scharff The Mail Resource Center http://www.Mail-Resources.com The Homepage for Mail Admins.
