Exchange 2007 Mailbox Role (Entourage 2008 Connectivity)   

I have 2 Exchange 2007 servers with the following roles:

Exchange Server 1:  Hub Transport, Client Access, Mailbox
Exchange Server 2:  Mailbox


I recently installed Exchange Server 2 to offload all mailbox accounts and
lighten the load on Exchange Server 1.  (Both servers are on the same
network)

Exchange Server 1 (Send Connector) sends outbound to linux box for outbound
email.   Linux box intercepts inbound and forwards to receive connector on
Exchange Server 1.

Email is flowing between both servers, Outlook users have no issues.  OWA
users hit Exchange Server 1 and it will retrieve their emails (even if its
on the 2nd server).

Entourage 2008 users (existing) are connected to Exchange Server 1 - no
problem.  When I move their mailbox to the 2nd server, they lose
connectivity.   In order for this to work, am I correct in assuming that I
need to also install the Client Access role to the 2nd server?

Any update here. I have the same issue but both my servers have the
CAS role..from the outside, mailboxes on the cas server that the
firewall points to work fine, but if i move them to another server
entourage doesnt work.
