OWA Behind IIS Server.. HELP!

[GDX]

Guys i have a major problem!. Here is the layout of my network

I have one internet ip address that comes through a router, the router then routes port 80 to my IIS server. Now I have another box with Exchange 2000 and OWA installed on it. The problem is my internet clients cannot access OWA because they cannot access the Exchange 2000 box except for Port 25 and 110. I need to make it in such a way that OWA is on the IIS box or routes the traffic when they type webmail.mydomain.com to the Exchange 2000 Box w/ OWA. I tried creating virtual directories on the webserver and link them to those on the Exchange box, but those dont work Any ideas guys please help!!!!


Internet IP --> Firewall --(port80)-->Webserver--->OWA/Exchange---> Back out to the client

basically its something like that I want. I only have one port 80 because i have one internet ip address. thank you guys I hope you understand what I need! Gordon R. Durgha

Hi
If you have another Internet IP to spare give that to your mail server and add your mailserver to your DNS. By doing this your users will be able to access the mailserver directly via webmail.whatever.com

Hope this helps you

Install Exchange 2000 on the IIS server and then enable it to be a front end server. This will then allow your Exchange server to sit back behind your firewall and the IIS server (which has no exchange data on it) sits in the DMZ so it's more secure than exposing your exchange server directly to the internet. Instructions are in the config docs however just a hint when they say delete the stores, don't. Just dismount them.
