SUMMARY
This article presents a recommended configuration for deploying a supported configuration of a dual-homed Exchange 2000 server to act as a gateway server for an Exchange 2000 organization. This server can process mail individually or act as a bridgehead for other servers in an Exchange 2000 organization.

For optimum security, use this suggested configuration behind a firewall. By limiting your Internet access to one server, and thereby restricting all incoming Internet messages to a single entry point, you take advantage of the robust protection of a firewall and provide your organization with a configuration that protects your intranet while allowing Internet access. This configuration gives smaller organizations direct, protected Internet access without the overhead costs that can be incurred by installing a firewall.
