Finding out which CAS is being used in a CAS array

Hi

We have a test Exchange 2010 SP1 system being used...there is a CAS array with three CAS servers; CAS1, CAS2, CAS3.

Can anyone tell me,

1. If an Outlook client connects via a CAS server to the mailbox server succesfully, how can I tell which CAS server in specific the traffic passed through

2. If Outlook CANNOT connect via the CAS array to the mailbox server, how can I tell which CAS server it's trying to connect to?

You can use netstat to check which clients are connected to host.
you can use the following power shell CMDLET to set the CAS server for clients:-

get-mailboxdatabase |select name, rpcclientaccessserver

for more details have a look on http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/8b6f5263-92c9-49cb-8db7-6c83054b8401/
how are you load balancing the connections (windows nlb or hardware load balancer)?

1 - to determine which CAS server a mailbox connected to you can use the RPC Client Access logs
2 - you could get a network trace to determine why the client is connecting and also use the hosts file to test against each cas individually
