Hi,

Currently my company has opened a branch in Asia. Here in the U.S. we have one Exchange Server for the entire organization. Because of bandwith requirements, we have decided the need to create another exchange server for asia. We're going with the exchange 2003 platform and we'll soon upgrade the U.S. Server soon.

My question is: how do you route recepients to the new server in Asia. We would like to stay with the same email domain and keep all new email account creations in the U.S server. If you know a better way, please help me. This is the first time i'm collaborating two exchange sites. Thank You.

All users in Asia are required to have the same domain as the U.S. users. The U.S. server should know how to route mail for all User in Asia and Vice Versa, overall the company domain should be the same thoughout the enterprise, except it should know where to route the mail based on the receptient. I hope this makes sense.

Seems to me that DNS is the answer. To route emails coming into your US domain but, directed at the Asia domain. You would need to set up routing to point certain addresses recieved back out again to the proper DNS address (being the EX server in Asia)

The requirement is to share the same domain namespace across all exchange servers regardless of where the mail box is or where the servers is placed. I was doing some reasearch into deploying exchange Front-End servers, i'm not sure how the topology will work with an extranet scenario. Any Ideas, anyone?
