Routing Groups

 < Day Day Up > 

Routing groups in Exchange Server 2003 are very similar to the idea of sites with Active Directory. A routing group contains Exchange Server 2003 servers that are connected to each other via high-bandwidth, reliable network connections. Servers within a routing group communicate directly with each other. When a server in a routing group needs to send a message to a server in a different routing group, it does so via an Exchange Server 2003 system known as a bridgehead server.

Bridgehead servers are able to use routing group connectors to forward messages to bridgehead servers in other routing groups, which then forward the message within the remote routing group to the appropriate server. Unlike administrative groups, servers can be moved between routing groups. More coverage is given to routing groups in Chapter 8, "Managing, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting Exchange Server Performance."
