Windows 2003 Server Default Gateways

I currently have a defualt gateway set as 192.168.130.50 which is a
sonicwall unit which accommodates a VPN to one of out sister sites. I am
about to install exchange on to this server also but require this to use a
different default gateway 192.168.130.53 is this possible? How will windows
server know which gateway to use?

Any advice gratefuly received!

You can put a route on the sonicwall or on the server. The route for your
remote network would point to the sonicwall GW. For example if your remote
network is 192.168.135.0/24 your route would look like this.

route add 192.168.135.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.130.50 -p
(do a route /? to see what all this means)

Then change your default gateway to 192.168.130.53. Because there is a
longer match in your route table to your remote network than the default
route, it will choose that gateway.

Is this second default gateway (192.168.130.53) a mailgateway? So you don't
have to give another default gateway, but configure an smtp-connector to
tell exchange where to send the emails.

No. You can't have two default gateways. You can have a "gob" of gateways
with one default gateway,...but there can only be one default gateway
barring any Dead Gateway Detection schemes.

I have no suggestion because I know nothing of what you have there, how it
is designed, nor why you say that you must use a different DG for the mail
server. I am only saying that, no..you cannot have more than one default
gateway. Remember that I am effectively "blind",..I cannot see what you
have in front of you,..I only know what you tell me in a few lines of email.
