OWA F.E installation in to the Existing B.E cluster

Hi all,

I'm running a clustered Exchange 2003 with around 1000 mailboxes, and I need
to deploy OWA.

1.) Will I need to take Exchange out of service while I'm installing F.E.
2.) Can F.E be installed on the LAN and configured then taken in to the DMZ.
3.) OWA its at the moment enabled would I need to disable before installing
FE.
4.) Do I need to add any extra Virtual servers in to the cluster.


Thanks for your help.

1. No.
2. You shouldn't put a front-end server in a DMZ. You should put an ISA
server or other web proxy service in the DMZ instead of opening a whole slew
of ports between the DMZ and your intranet.
3. No.
4. No.
