DRAS is not a good solution. First, Exchange will dial for as long as it wants. This is very expensive if the call is long distance. You have to be very careful with limits on message size and directory replication between servers. Also, if there are connection problems, all messages in the MTA queue will be returned NDR.

It would be better to use NT's version of DRAS - Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS). It is available as a download from MS and requires NT SP3. Use an x.400 connector or IMS over RRAS.
