We have two registered URL's - one to our IIS server/intranet site on port 80
and one to the IIS server/OWA on the Exchange Server on port 81.
I want to put a link on the intranet site to the OWA. If the link is to the
external URL of the OWA it works fine. But if the link is to the internal IP
or to the internal server name, it works fine from inside our network but
from the internet, it cannot connect. Please note I'm not trying to redirect
here, just create a link. I would appreciate any help

It works as expected. Internal ip adresses or server names cannot be used
outside your internal network.

Thanks very much for your reply. Yes I can see that is the case. But I was
actually hoping for a practical solution. In other words, how to link to the
internal server without using the external URL?

If the clients are internal (on your local network), you can use the
internal URL. If the clients are external, you must use the external URL.

That is how things work.
