cert errors, redirects   
I recently added a second Exchange 2003 std. server. Both machines
appear under Exchange System Manager\Servers.

Both machines have SSL certs for OWA, but cert names do not match
machine names, for example:

ServerA.domain.com(machine name) has a cert "mail.domain.com"
ServerB.domain.com(machine name) has a cert "mail2.domain.com"

My problem comes up when a user logs into the wrong machine.

  If a user outside our network connects to "mail.domain.com", but
his mail resides on the other server, he logs in and is immediately
redirected to "ServerB.domain.com".

This creates 2 problems.

First, it generates a cert error, because the user has been
directed to "ServerB.domain.com" and the cert says "mail2.domain.com.

Second, once the user accepts the cert error and elects to continue,
he is forced to login a second time, then (finally) he is allowed to
view his mail.

So, what I would like to have happen is:

If a user outside our network connects to "mail.domain.com", but
his mail resides on the other server, he logs in and is immediately
redirected to "mail2.domain.com" instead of being redirected to
"ServerB.domain.com". This would eliminate the cert error.
Is that do-able?

And second, once the user is properly routed, I would like for the
user to not have to log in a second time.

Is all of this possible?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Re: cert errors, redirects   
You need to implent an Exchange Front End Server for OWA. This will then 
proxy requests to the correct backend for any users that login to OWA.
