thanks a lot for the info, what I am experiencing makes sense now.

I understand that adding support for Exchange clustering is not an easy task and it might take some time so 
is there a way to workaround it meanwhile? I mean would it be for example possible to find out the actual 
server which holds a user's mailbox and then connecting directly to it?

Thanks..
