accessing exchange server from the outside

[wjsim]

I have OWA 5.5 and exchange server 5.5 installed on a primary domain controller (win NT machine). This machine is on the internal network but I need users to be able to access exchange from the outside without using vpn. What is the best method for this? It's behind a linux firewall.

you'd need to open some ports on the firewall specifically for OWA and also configure the firewall to forward any requests for those ports to the exchange server.

I would suggest using ssl with OWA, but the recommended configuration uses 2 mains. 1 accessible from the internet which is located in the DMZ, and the exchange server located on the internal network. Craig
