Cluster IP issue

[mjquinn81]

Hey all.... I have my Exchange 2003 server running in an active/passive cluster environment. Active node = MAILA Passive node = MAILB Virtual node = EMAIL... Anyway, the problem I'm having is that I have the internal IP address of my virtual node translating to a static public address through my PIX firewall that is listening for SMTP traffic. It seems that when I send mail from my server, it goes out via the IP address of the Active node, not the virtual node. Obviously this is causing problems when recipients attempt to do a reverse DNS lookup on my server. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

thanks!

Check your virtual server configuration, step 14:

All is well with the properties of my SMTP and POP3 protocols, both are set to use the virtual node address. Unfortunately I may have to call M$ on this one as I am stumped.
