Does anyone know if Exchange 2003 OWA/SSL can run on Apache Webserver? If so where can I find documentation for setting this up. Microsoft doesn't say either way or at least that I can find.

It gets partly integrated in IIS, other parts are DLLs, so, no.

Can you recommend a secure setup? We do not want to purchase the microsoft lisence for a front-end/exchange/owa server. I wanted owa in the dmz.

A secure setup for what? OWA?
Put it anywhere you want, security is up to the firewall(s).

Well I'm new to exchange but it just seems unsecure to allow access from the internet to any server inside the lan. Microsoft solution is frontend server in the dmz (but my company will not approve the extra cost) Which means I must secure access from internet to exchange mailbox via owa. This means I must place owa on webserver(not frontend) in the dmz. So, this has led me to this post. Can OWA run on Apache? If not what is another way to secure access between owa and exchange?

There is really nothin more or less secure having OWA in a DMZ, as that server will need full access to the one on the LAN anyway.
Again, OWA will not run on Apache, so either you use the LAN server for OWA and secure it with your fierwall and secure authentication, or, you put up with the extra cost.

If you want to make it secure, you could try using ISA server 2004, it will terminated the ssl session on the firewall to allow inspection of the http traffic, it will also pre authenticate the user, so no access beyond the firewall unless they have a valid username and password.
We are using ISA 2004 for OWA and RPC over https, I am very impressed with the product, microsoft seem to have listened for once.
Remember Port 80 is the the universal firewall bypass protocol, so should you be inspecting the contents of the packet to make sure it is valid http traffic.
