Hosting exchange OWA behind 2 firewalls

marine253

Level 1

Helllo ,

 

We have 2 level of firewalls at my company. We have 1 DMZ sitting on the perimeter and a cisco firepower acting as internal/core firewall.

 

We have an exchange server that should be publicly be accessible. Where do you recommend putting the exchange? In the DMZ or behind the internal firewall?

 

A friend of mine told me that it is never a good idea to put an exchange server in the DMZ as I will need to open a lot of ports to make my exchange server talk to my AD server.

 

Any suggestions please?

Thanks
