How do most of you have your FE OWA servers configured? Are they in a
DMZ, or do you have some sort of reverse proxy in the DMZ that allows
access to the OWA IIS server?

Thanks,
Mark

Typically, ISA 2004 is used to publish an FE server located on the internal
network. Technically you can put the FE in the DMZ and open the required
ports, but if security is on your mind, then ISA offers so much more (like
inspecting the HTTP packets, etc).

ISA isn't going to sit well with our networking staff... However, I'm
sure we can use a different reverse proxy method that uses a method
similar to ISA.

Thanks,

Sorry for the late response... We plan on doing a reverse proxy using
Apache, or a Cisco content management engine.
