I would recommend only mapping the source bridgehead for the connector to a
dedicated GC then test performance. If it becomes busy the other servers
should notice this and fail over to the then faster responding GC. You can
test with results with both possibilities but I would think the above would
be all you would need to do.

Hi,
Currently having Exchange 2003 servers, with dedicated mailbox servers and
one outbound SMTP server.
We've set Delivery Restriction on the SMTP connector on the outbound
Exchange server, to Accept mails from a Universal Distribution Group only.
To enable this restrictions, of cos we've added the
"CheckConnectorRestrictions" registry key.
We've noticed the mail delivery is exteremely slow, with mails stuck in
"Messages waiting to be routed" queue.
Thus looks as if the mails were not moving at all.
Read KB article 812298.
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812298)
Method 2 involves alot of administration.
Method 1: Qns: Currently there's 2 GC in the domain where the Exchange
servers are. If we dedicate one GC for the bridgehead, does it means we have
to configure the other Exchange servers to lookup the other GC manually?
TIA
Shel
