I am in the process of doing a POC for a notes integration with exchange
which will have long term co-existinece. the Notes environment currently has
over 2000 users, im planning to setup an exchange with the notes connector to
migrate about 50 users initially. i have a couple of questions on these and
hope someone would help me clarify.

1. right now internet bound mails are delivered to the notes server, when i
read through technet, it said to point the MX to the exchange server and
transfer mails through the connector to the notes environment. this seems not
too practical in this environment as the majority of the users are exchange,
can the notes deliver mails to exchange without changing the MX record?

2. DOES ANYBODY KNOW OR CAN SOMEONE POINT ME TO FIND INFO ON HOW I COULD
CONFIGURE THE NOTES AND EXCHANGE SERVER TO DELIVER THE MAIL TO EACH OTHER IF
THE MAILBOX CANNOT BE FOUND IN THE LOCAL SYSTEM?

3. I ALSO NEED TO IMPLEMENT A EXCHANGE CLUSTER ACROSS TWO LOCATIONS WHICH
ARE CONNECTED THROUGH 1GBPS FIBER. WOULD IT BE FINE IF THE EXCHANGE CLUSTER
NOTES ARE IN TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS?

HOPE SOMEONE COULD HELP ME OUT.
