Internal Exchange via two Internet connections
At one of my customer I had following request. They have Exchange server inside their network. They have two Internet connections. All mail communication goes via primary Internet connection. Second Internet connection is used for Internet browsing.
Internal IP network is 10.0.0.0/24. First Internet connection is called primary and there is default gateway at 10.0.0.1/24. Second Internet connection is called backup Internet connection and it’s default dateway is 10.0.0.2/24. Exchange server has IP address 10.0.0.21/24 and it had default gateway 10.0.0.1/24. MX records are registered to public IP address of primary Internet connection. Problem is when primary line goes down. E-mail communication stops completely – e-mails don’t come and don’t leave company.
To solve this problem we need to make two changes:
-
Change MX records for Internet domain
-
Change routing for internal Exchange server
