I'm looking to configure a new Exchange server for one of my offices. We have someone hosting our e-mail and everyone pulls it down via POP3. My superiors have decided they don't me to configure the server to host our own e-mail, so we're going to keep the POP3 configuration. I have a POP connector installed on the Exchange server and it works great. What I want to do now is configure Outlook anywhere. All the how-to's show how to configure it using FQDN that will be accessible from the Internet. Does anyone know if this can be configured using just an IP address? My server has a static IP so we won't have the issues associated with dynamic addressing.

You configure it with an the IP instead of the host name but it using the static public ip might prevent your user from being able to access outlook inside your local network, you can use the fqdn inside your network by a host entry in your DNS server. Also if you fqdn you wont have to reconfig you clients outlook if your ip changes.

I actually have OA working now.

Being a newb @ server side stuff, I didn't realize I could have an "A Record" created for each site. I've done this and it's working beautifully.
