Scenario:
Exchange 2013 intersite DAG between 2 sites - LA and Chicago. Just deployed a virtual cisco IronPort appliance in Chicago and configured SEND connector to send mail to "SMART HOST (IP of Ironport) and all is well in Exchange "SEND-Land".
We have a second virtual Ironport appliance in LA and heard about the "scoped send connector" setting that only allows transport servers from a specific site to send. Idea is to configure LA Ironport, create another SEND connector as "scoped" and add LA mailbox servers. Would this pretty much work? Idea is to minimize traffic traversing WAN to send email. Right now, all mailbox servers are added in single SEND connector and configured to send mail via SMARTHOST (IP of Ironport in Chicago).
Thoughts? Thanks!
