Part 22: Infrastructure essentials Blogcast - RPC/HTTP for Outlook & Exchange - Bounce OWA through Localhost

Continuing the blogcast series on infrastructure essentials.

To make the next steps clearer, here's a picture of what we're trying to achieve in combining Forms Based Authentication with RPC/HTTP, and the routes through which traffic will flow. Hopefully a picture speaks a thousand words - the blogcast goes through configuring ISA to bounce OWA traffic through our Localhost listener. As you watch, you'll notice that no-one is infallible (and especially count myself in that list), but it was only a minor mistake :)

For multi-server Exchange RPC deployment scenarios, take a look on TechNet for more information: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2003/library/ex2k3rpc.mspx. These scenarios can be far more complex than the relatively simple example I'm walking through here.
