If yes let me know what records i need to create in my internal DNS and public DNS. What settings/port mappings do i need to do in firewall ?. I have deployed the edge server and now i am Planning to deploy the Lync Mobility for users. I am using lync enterprise edition , I need Lync Mobility for external users.

    No, you have to use a reverse proxy, because lync use the webservices on the lync front end server or you use the mobile on a internal wireless network.

    Ok, as Dagfinn mentioned, if you will open your FE to the Internet it is sure possible.

    Yes it can be done. But you need port forwarding in your firewall to et this done. You need to forward port 443 to 4443 and 80 to 8080. Remember that this is a security risk as all clients connect straight to your FE server. I reccomend yo to deploy an RP to do this properly and get a secure deployment.

    Hi Desai,

    This can be done, just as you publish Exchange OWA without a reverse proxy. Just use port forwarding on your firewall. In Lync, you need to take the traffic on the firewall on port 443 and forward it to the Fe server on port 4443.

    Hi Prajwal,

    If you are implementing port forwarding on firewall , you need to have a public certificate on FE box or manually update the internal root CA on mobile devices in order to access the services.

    I agree with Holder , it is recommeded to use reverse proxy and port forwarding isn't a suppported scenario.

    Thanks

    Hi,Prajwal,

    As they said reverse proxy is highly recommended.However if you insist on abandoning reverse proxy server you can add another IP address on FE server and publish Lync web service and autodiscover url using firewall port redirect instead.Details you can check Ken's great blog. (Note: If you take this option you may hit Microsoft unsupport scenario and you should on your own account to overcome difficulties if you have any issues )

    Regarding the DNS record you can follow the DNS requirements for Lync FE server,simple URL and mobility,just make sure they point to the correct IP address.

    Besides,another old thread just for your reference.
