OWA Installation

Hi all.

In the Microsoft Press 70-294 Training Kit, it states that "OWA integrates
into IIS and doesn't even have to be installed on the same server as Exchange
Server 2003" (page 1-13). I can't seem to find any instructions on doing so.
Basically, my company wants to have 2 "front-end" machines running IIS w/ OWA
and SMTP to route traffic to the Exchange 2003 back-end. Can anyone point me
in the right direction?

Exchange Server 2003 (back-end) will be installed on 2 Windows 2003 servers
that will be software-clustered (don't ask).

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

No flaming chance. I don't have that book but what you say it says is
crud.
To have a Front End server that you use to access OWA requires that
you install a full copy of Exchange.
See some help and the scenario guide for FE/BE at
www.microsoft.com/exchange/library
Any chance you can scan the pages and email them to me?

Sure thing. I'll try to get them out to you in the near future.
