<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have two servers for Exchange 2007 and a Cisco ASA 5500. I want to put one of these Exchange servers in the DMZ and the other in the inside network. I need to provide OWA and Outlook Anywhere to users on the Internet. The ASA will perform firewall and some content filtering prior to packets arriving into the DMZ.<br />
<br />
I thought I had this figured out, but I&quot;m now confused. Is it better to put the Edge server in the DMZ and have all the other roles on the server in the inside network, or do I scrap the Edge server role completely and put the Client Access Server in the DMZ and the other roles in the inside network?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.
