OWA Behind Firewall   
Currently, I've got OWA working internally no problem, my problem is external 
access to OWA.

Right now my firewall is currently set up to route all HTTP & HTTPS traffic 
to my internal web server.  I've got one E2k server which is also internal.

I've tried using host header names in IIS on the web server and redirecting 
specific URL for OWA like http://webmail.domain.com to the E2k server but 
since it's internal, the redirect doesn't work.  Instead of the redirect 
option in IIS, I thought about using A share located on a different server 
option but I haven't fully explored this option yet.  Another option that 
I've thought about is changing the port numbers in Exchange for HTTP/HTTPS 
and add routing in the firewall based upon the new port number 
http://webmail.domain.com:8080 but the users probably wouldn't remember to 
put the port number at the end of the URL so that probably isn't an option.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

Re: OWA Behind Firewall   
Choices - install OWA on the web server as a FE/BE solution (easiest) or 
create a new virtual directory on the web server pointing at the live OWA 
server (you need a share on the live OWA to do this and then need to check 
the permissions).
