I'm not an Exchange expert (yet) but I think what you are looking for is a
frontend / backend solution with a RPC over HTTPS between the two. You
haven't menitoned what the actual problem is but from my readin I think this
is the solution to the Swiss Cheesed Firewall approach of RPC.

For the first time ever, I can build a MS Exchange server without a
huge time constraint. So, I decided to solve all the issues raised by
the Microsoft Exchange Server Brest Practices Analyzer Tool. However,
I can't seem to solve this one.

The network that I run on is extremly hostle. So, I have to keep all
servers heavily locked down (firewalls.. etc). So, my AD servers have
very few ports open. All the research I have put into this point to
RPC ports on the AD servers. But, they are only referenced as just
open RPC ports. Then I find that RPC ports are random ports from
1024-65***. I cannot just open up all those ports. Also, when I find
the ports that need to be open, they have to be locked to a single IP
(the exchange server/other AD servers).

I know it's only a firewall issue, because I can turn off the firewall
on an AD server and everything works just fine. So, what do I need to
open up?
