Since switching our firewall/router to a sonicwall 2040.. i noticed
somethings.. communicator complains it cant find the web services.. free/busy
info doesnt get populated.. out of office settings cant be changed, because
it cant find the server.



I have our autodiscover and other services set to our external domain name..
(I'm guessing this was ok to do).. which is wan1.domain.com



External name lookups dont work from behind the firewall.. though i did
create a new zone in my internal dns settings to point to our external domain
name (we have domain.local name for the local one).. however, this doesnt
help.. as our wan1.domain.com points to multiple backend servers.



So hence my question/delemma.. not sure how to fix this issue.. should i be
setting up a policy directly on my firewall that allows external resolution
without the need for internal additional zones on my dns server.. or should i
do something else.. or should my exchange addresses not be the external name
for both parts?



For some reason i had done this before, perhaps its incorrect..



Any help would be great.



Thanks




Curious.. where does office/exchange 2007.. get its out of office info and
free/busy info from.. is it the OAB?



If so.. what do most set their internal name to there?



Mine was set to our wan address wan1.domain.com.. i tried switching it to
https://exchange02/oab but this hasnt fixed the issue...



Any thoughts?
