My customer is having Lotus Domino as email servers and have at least 1 Domino clusters in each site (different locations). Currently, an ISA2006 is acting as reverse proxy and redirect specific URL to corresponding site for iNotes (Domino Web Access) connection (e.g., mail-hk.abc.com to HK site, mail-sg.abc.com to Singapore site, etc.). Separate listeners are created to each redirection.
My customer is having a new office in another city (London) and they do not want to maintain so many URL. They want to know if it is possible to use one URL for all sites (e.g., mail.abc.com for all sites). Then when login, the ISA2006 can based on rules to redirect the user to the corresponding site.
What I do not know is that if ISA2006 can do this. If not, can FFTMG 2010 do this? If either application can help, how to set the rules to separate the users? The customer now place corresponding users in specific directory in the Domino server (data/mail/HK or data/mail/SG, e.g.).
Sorry for this basic question but we tried the single URL approach in ISA2006 but are not able to make it work.
Thanks a lot,

So in case if a company has multiple sites, the company will need to have multiple email URLs if they want their users to connect to the corresponding site? (like the example I listed, @mail-hk.abc.com, @mail-sg.abc.com, etc.) It seem strange as I know many large companies have 1 URL for email for ALL its employees (e.g., @microsoft.com). In this case, Microsoft employees from different sites will access the same email servers? It will create traffic jams.
I suggest you posting the question at exchange forum if you want to know more about redirection.
