Dear All,
I have installed Exchnage 2007 with 4 servers (CAS,HUB,MBS,EDGE)
I configured EDGE on DMZ with Public DNS on Same DMZ with 2 public IP Adresses .

My ISP will Synchronize with My public DNS also I have ISA with All Publishing Rule

My question is what is exactly records should be added to my Public DNS for Mail Flow .

Please Advice.
thanks

You only need an MX record point to your external IP address.
However MX records cannot point to IP addresses, so you will actually need two records.
An A record (for example mail) point to your external IP address.
Then the MX record would point to mail.domain.com

Ask your ISP to set a reverse DNS (aka PTR record) on the external IP address to match the DNS entry you created above - so mail.domain.com in my example.

Simon.
