Implementing Exchange 2013 DAG across multi site

Hi,

With the new Exchange Server 2013 SP1 release, is it possible for me to deploy my server as the following setup for the DAG availability:

Production Site A
PROD-MBX1.domain.com
MAPI network: 10.1.100.11
DAG network: 10.2.2.11
AD Site: Domain-Site-A

Recovery Site B
DR-MBX1.domain.com
MAPI network: 10.1.200.22
DAG network: 10.3.3.11
AD Site: Domain-Site-B

This will be deployed across two different VMware ESXi host in two different Data center over Dark Fibre ring WAN

If anyone can provide some diagram example and input that will be good.

Thanks

Cool, that does sounds great mate !

so I will have to do the following deployment as you suggested:

Production Site A
PROD-MBX1.domain.com
MAPI network: 10.1.100.11
DAG network: 10.2.2.11
AD Site: Domain-Site-A

PROD-MBX2.domain.com
MAPI network: 10.1.100.12
DAG network: 10.2.2.12
AD Site: Domain-Site-A

So the DR mailbox server is just a Standby Continuous Cluster server ?

Recovery Site B
DR-MBX1.domain.com
MAPI network: 10.1.200.22
DAG network: .... (Do I really need it )
AD Site: Domain-Site-B

How does it affects the server licensing ? does the third server in the Data center also counted as well in total of 3x Exchange Server 2013 Enterprise license ?

Cool, so what about the third server ?
is that going to be just another standby server or the 3rd node in a DAG which means the replication traffic goes triangle ?

ok, the reason why I was doing the 2 Prod and 1 DR is that to try the same approach as the existing environment:

2 Prod CCR nodes and then 1 DR node SCR from one of the active node on Production Data center.
