Additional Information
Sorry forgot to add this earlier:
OS - Win 2003 (at all sites)
Exchange - 2003 Enterprise (at all sites)

Interesting - If I telnet to fqdn of server in Country B from Country A on
port 25 and type help domain.com I get a response from the correct fqdn BUT
the IP address of the server in Country A. ODD!

Thanks
