Re: Can't access Cluster Virtual name behind the router   

are you sure it is just a "router" or does it has some filtering/firewall
features.
If you are going thru a firewall "RPC over HTTP(s)" (Outlook Anywhere) is
your preferred access method, and that is only going to CAS (as far as I
know)

post in the microsoft.public.exchange.clustering group, that is where the
Exchange cluster guru's hang out

rgds,

Re: Can't access Cluster Virtual name behind the router   

I found the problem, the server can't access client on the other subnet 
because it was configured with a gateway that points to ISA server So I 
added a persistent route in the routing table for that subnet.
route add **** mask **** -p
