Hi There,

Hope everyone is well? Im just after a bit of advice and a point in the
right direction?

We basically have several cargo ships all currently with exchange onboard.
Each one connects to the net via a VSAT or GSM connection to collect & Send
its mail.

The ships each have there own domain name which is also there e-mail domain
e.g:

www.ship1.com - captin@ship1.com
www.ship2.net - captin@ship2.net
www.ship3.co.uk - captin@ship3.co.uk

and so on ....

I need to put a solution in place which will allow us to access Webmail on
on off the ship. The ship has no ability to have a static IP, we also need a
little bit of fault tolerance also incase the ships mail goes down.

We would like to have 2 x Off ship exchange servers. 1 in the UK & 1 in the
US.

We would like these on a cluster, but also have all 12 ships data on them.
Allowing Ships staff to use webmail when on land.

I was thinking 2 x On Land Servers - Both in Cluster, collecting Mail for
all 12 Domains. Then Each Ships exchange collects own domains mail from the
2 x On Land Cluster?

Hope i`ve not confused everyone explaining it?

Any body got any ideas or suggestions?

Many, Many Thanks
Regards
Si
