Setup Exchange 2007 ActiveSync web application on a separate server

Question

I have Exchange 2007 installed on SBS 2008. I also run a web server on the network. I only have one static IP and all traffic trough port 443 is routed to the webserver.

I would like to publish the ActiveSync application externally. If i temporarily route 443 traffic to the SBS then it is published (along with owa and everything else which i don't want).

Is there a way to host the ActiveSync application on the web server (Server 2008 with IIS7) or to get it to route traffic meant for the ActiveSync application?

I have tried creating a site on the webserver which uses the ActiveSync folder on the SBS but that does not seem to work.

Thanks,

Michael

You may want to look into running the Client Access role on the web server.
