I think the issue might be that the cert wouldn't match. So you really only
want one record, as you only have the one sbs cert for both /remote and
/exchange.
I generally use mail.domain.com for email, and <whatever>.domain.com for
both remote and exchange. Allthough, lots just have the mail record and so
long as you use that fqdn to generate the cert there's not problem.
