Hi All,

Customer has 2 locations, location A is connected to the Internet and
location B is not. Location A and B are connected with 10 Mbps links.

Customer doesnt want to implement any Exchange Server at the location with
the Internet connection because all mailboxes/adminitrators are in location
B

My question is: Can we configure the Edge Server to send all the client
requests to the CAS/HT servers in the location B?

What could be the impact of deploying this model?

Thanks

If location B doesn't have any internet connectivity but has all the
Exchange servers, and location A has the internet but no Exchange servers,
it seems you have little choice. Either you setup Edge in location B and
configure your firewall in location A to forward SMTP to it over your
internal network, or you locate it in location A and have it talk to Hubs in
location B.

Edge servers can be configured to forward mail anywhere (including to other
AD Forests/messaging systems that don't use Exchange), and to any AD Site.
No significant impact as such - you're probably doing something similar to
get inbound mail to your Exchange servers.
