No one answer?

I make this request more clear. We have 3 server, ISA, ExchangeA and ExchangeB. Only ISA has internet address, A and B are both back-end server, how do I setup OWA access on ISA for both servers? Is it possible. I know it is possible for one Exchange server but not sure for two or more servers.

Any advise? Thanks.

When you have multiple exchange mailbox (backend) servers in your organization, you will require a frontend server to proxy client requests to the correct backend mailbox server. Backend servers do NOT perform proxying for external requests.

SO, if you want to use OWA externally for both servers you have 2 options:

1. Register 2 different URLs for OWA on the internet, one pointing to each of the backend servers. Create an OWA publishing rule for each server in ISA

2. install a front-end exchange server. Use a single URL and have ISA forward requests to the front-end server, which will proxy the request to the appropriate mailbox server (recommended setup!!)
