You are turning things around now
???
From my first message:
But netstat detects that the connection is done on the public address
So, netstat has been done.

my-server.mycompany.LOCAL gives the private address, as it should.

thanks anyway

Have you or have you not configured Outlook with the Outlook Anywhere
settings?
Look in your account settings.

You are turning things around now and are assuming that
my-server.mycompany.LOCAL resolves to the public interface as well. You
have not verified that via netstat or a ping. All you've verified is that
the connection that is being made via Outlook is done to your public
interface. This is a perfectly normal situation when you've set Outlook to
always connect via Outlook Anywhere.

The infrastructure is the simplest possible, so i've omitted the details.
The sbs has just one interface, connected to my private lan
(ip=192.168.0.xxx).
The enterprise firewall nats the incoming http, https and smtp connection
to my exchange server.
So, in 'non microsoft' mail world a name is resolved in just one way:
trought dns name.

Here, the impression is that there is a more sophisticated mechanism
doing something.
It is also less clear to understand.
Does it exist a documentation of this mechanism?
tnx for your reply

It all depends what kind of connection you are making. Probably you are
making a connection via Outlook Anywhere now.
The internal name reported in Outlook does not have to be the same as
the name linked to the external IP address.

It could also be a simply network/firewall configuration error. Without
knowing any details about the infrastructure, it is impossible to tell
what's going on for sure.

I use O2007 and sbs2003 exchange.
The server address field is: "my-server.mycompany.LOCAL"
But netstat detects that the connection is done on the public address
(81.174.62.xxx)
I expect that it resolves the address as a local ip address. Where does
it get the external address?

tnx in advance
