I have one exchange server (2003 SP2 on a SBS) The physical hardware has 2 NICS (one is currently disabled)

Our MX record points to the ADSL router and then port forwards to the server.

What I woudl like to do have all mail (and mail only) route out using that DSL circuit and add another DSL for browsing (and DNS)

How do you "tell" exchange to use a specific NIC. I assume that changing the IP address on the default Virtual SMTP server properties to the NIC address is part of it. Is there anything else I need to do, know or take into account?

Take Care

I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
My wish has come true. I no longer know how to use my telephone.
 
That's about it in fact. You'd end up doing DNS requests down one NIC and sending to the place just looked up across the other one but I think you've got the gist of it.
