Explanation

To ensure fault tolerance among the servers and to get the highest possible level of security and encryption for OWA clients, you must install two front-end Exchange 2000 servers. Place the new servers on the perimeter network and configure load balancing between them. To enhance security, you should also configure Certificate Services and create a rule on the firewall to redirect port 443 to the servers. The most secure firewall configuration is placing a firewall on either side of the front-end servers. This isolates the front-end servers in a perimeter network, commonly referred to as a demilitarized zone (DMZ). It is always better to configure more than one front-end server to get fault tolerance.
