I have a couple of questions that so far I havn't been able to find a clear
enough answer for me in the documentation:

1) OWA - from what it looks like, I can no longer have an OWA server in
my
DMZ. Is this really true? I don't like having to give a direct
connection
from the outside to my inside network.

[SS] It's true. The Client Access Server (CAS), which among other things
includes the OWA feature, is not supported in a perimeter network (aka a
DMZ). Instead you'll deploy one or more CASs inside your organization and
put a robust firewall such as ISA 2006 in front of it.

2) RPC over HTTP. It also appears that there are no longer Front-End
servers. The Edge transport role looks like it only handles
relay/anti-virus/spam issues. So for Outlook Anyware I'm assuming I have
the
same issue as OWA. I need to have a direct connection from the outside to
inside?

[SS] You use the same CASs to serve RPC over HTTP (now called Outlook
Anywhere). The CAS sits in the internal network and is published via ISA.
Very secure and reliable!

This means in both cases, there is no "direct" connection. Connections are
made by clients to the ISA Server, and not directly to the CAS.
