Hi
I set up Ex2k3 on Win2k3 in an A/P 2 node cluster.
Node 1 has ip x.x.x.1
Node 2 has ip x.x.x.2
Cluster IP is x.x.x.3
Exchange Virtual Server has as IP x.x.x.5

I can contact the virtual server correctly using x.x.x.5. The problem is
that connection initiated by the server, are originated from the active
cluster node IP address.
Thi is a problem since there's a relay that accepts e-mails only from
x.x.x.5 ip.
I found a KB article referring a bug that is exactly the same but pointing
to Exch 5.5.

I bound the virtual server to the x.x.x.5 address, but no luck. Also my
"netstat -an" show that port 25 was open on all ip addresses (0.0.0.0:25
LISTENING).

Anyone has some kind of solution?

Thanks

Set up the relay to accept from both physical server addresses, this just
happens to be the way it works.

It's not the listening addresses that you care about, it's the sending, and
indeed the SMTP service is operating from the context of the local physical
server.

I just can't do it, this is why i posted the question.

Reading KB I found an explicit reference to a bug in Exch 5.5. There is also
a KB article for exch 2003 regarding X.400 MTA with the same problem.
I can't believe that a cluster aware application just doesn't use the
cluster address :-(
