Exchange Server in DMZ

[davek2003]

Need thoughts
Put an exchange server in the dmz
allow pop3 external client,smtp from outside

naturaly inside will have full access
so I should be able to rpc to it(from inside)
using outlook by host file
ie 172.17.1.9 exchsrv.

any pros cons

You'll need to allow the exchange server access to the inside domain controllers. Other than that, your configuration should work fine.

I forgot to say I don't mind keeping two sets of
User logins(we only have 10 employee's this will be on it's own domain

so when a user on the inside opens outlook it
will prompt them to input their
username
domain
passowrd

other then that little hassle I think this will work
and eliminates access from outside all the way in and just to the dmz.
