Hi,
I'm currently considering a hypothetical project to allow multiple site exchange connectivity whilst providing protection against site failures.

My current idea is as follows:
All sites to have CAS, MB & HT, in addition to a DAG.
The reasoning being that it will allow local users to the site quick and seemless access to their mail, with the DAG groups and inter-site links providing a level of failover should a mailbox, CAS or HT fail.
& an edge server & CAS sat in a hosted datacenter, to allow outgoing mail between sites and a central CAS server for remote workers & devices that can access MB & DAG servers at any site to get users mail.

Does anyone have any comments/suggestions on that model?

Thanks in advance all. :)
 
The MX record route is an interesting one, and is perhaps something that can be used in addition to the option I'm considering.
