I am looking at putting several servers in a rack in a datacenter. I
obviously want some sort of firewall solution, and I am wondering what
opinions some of you might have about the topic. I will need to serve out
Exchange services through the firewall, so I would either have to publish
the Exchange server in ISA or open up access to it in some sort of DMZ with
a hardware firewall. What experiences/suggestions do you have about one
versus the other?

Thanks,
Jacob
