Leo:

I presume you are talking about Outlook Web Access (OWA)
(https://webmail.mydomain.com.au/exchange)?

If the external IP of the server (or a router front-ending the server)
is static, you need to work with your ISP or whichever organization is
controlling your external DNS nameservers to point
webmail.mydomain.com.au to the static IP. (Sometimes you can do this
yourself, depending on ISP or DNS hoster.)

If the external IP is dynamic, you need to use a dynamic DNS service
like www.dyndns.com, www.noip.com or www.tzo.com (among others). (I
personally use www.dyndns.com for myself and several of my clients.)
You register with them, define the domain name you want pointed to the
dynamic IP, then install a small dynamic DNS client on the SBS and
configure it to detect your IP and update the DNS record if necessary.
This is less scary and easier than it sounds. The web sites mentioned
earlier should have FAQs which describe the process.

Hi Guy's,
not sure where i saw it but one of the groups had instructions on how to
setup your sbs 2003 exchange to allow https://webmail.mydomain.com.au instead
of having to type in the external ip of the server.
can anyone help or point me in the right diection to set this up.

thanks
Leo
