They don't support it, but we're trying to eliminate some things. Our desired
config is as follows on the same side of the firewall:
1. DC and GC are same machine (Windows 2003)
2. Front-end Exchange server
3. Back-end Exchange Server

On the hostile side of the firewall is our outlook client. We have enabled
port 443 for the client to establish a connection with the front-end server.

We figured that we would first try to communicate frm the front-end server
to the back-end server using RPC/HTTP to start our troubleshooting. If this
worked we knew we were going in the right direction. The problem is that we
can't even get RPC/HTTP to work when everything is on the same side of the
firewall. I'm trying all kinds of searches in hopes of finding something
which will trigger something for us.

Thanks
