Hello,
I am in the process of looking at installing a second Exch 03 server on the
West Coast in an effort to provide hopefully better performance for our west
coast employees.
Can anyone give me any pointers as to best practices for such a project? the
currentt enviroment resides on the east coast. I would like to keep
everything under one doamin name of course and just route the nessecary
emails to the west coast mail server.

Thank you,

How is your connectivity?
How is your AD design?
How many users? How many servers? How will tehy access? OWA? Rich client?

The connectivity is all Hardware VPN based coming across T1 lines.
AD Design consists of one single domain (company.com) currently but not
opposed to creating Subs.
80 Users in total at the moment.
Currently 1 mail server on the east coast, the users one the west coast
would connect via VPN to one location out there, for that reason i am
thinking i should i probably create a second domain (west.company.com) and
route all west coast users through that one with a trust between the 2
doamins then.

First of all, a must read:
"Active Directory with Virtual Private Network and Demand Dial Deployments"
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/technologies/activedirectory/deploy/depovg/advpnddd.mspx

"Remote Site Connectivity Background"
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/deployguide/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/deployguide/en-us/dnsbh_rem_jcfi.asp

The main issue here is the VPN connectivity. I like to keep things very
simple, so I would not create a second domain, just a new site.
But if you have T1 connectivity, do you realy need that second server? Why
don't you just use Outlook in cached-mode and RPC over HTTP?
