Good Day to All

Currently My DNS is only set up with a foward look-up since our main DNS is hosted outside of our network buy our ISP.
I just put into place a CISCO PIX firewall and want to allow access to the OWA in exchange.

I would like the users of OWA to just type in the URL name>/exchange/username instead of using the IP address they have to use now. The question is do I need to make a reverse lookup internally on my DNS only, or, have my ISP set up a reverse lookup for my exchange server only, or, do I have to do both?

Thanks for your assistance

Where are your users going to access OWA from? The internet or your internal network?

Thanks for repling the users will only use OWA when they are out of the office via the internet

Set up an A record for your Exchange server on your external (your ISP's) DNS provider. Then you just need to forward the correct port on your PIX.
 
Thanks will do and I will let you know hoew it goes
