Internal CAS array name: BQT-CASArray.MSFT.corp.com
CAS server: BQT-CAS01.MSFT.corp.com  - 10.82.246.91, NIC2 – 192.168.0.91
CAS server: BQT-CAS02.MSFT.corp.com – 10.82.246.92, NIC2 – 192.168.0.92
Internal NLB Cluster name: BQT-CASNLB.MSFT.corp.com

10.1.240.100 and EXCHCASArray.client.local.  Please note that the IP address should be on the same subnet as the two CAS servers that will become members of the NLB cluster.

3. CAS Array & WNLB 的名稱是可以共用一個, 也可以分開, 只是不知道分開的使用理由為何….
目前就先設定共用一個, 同時也就不需要額外的IP, FYI

WNLB & CAS array name: BQT-CASArray.MSFT.corp.com
DMZ Vitrual IP: 10.82.246.x

When using WNLB to load balance Client access server traffic, does the FQDN of the WNLB need to match the FQDN of the CAS array?
This is not a requirement at all. Personally when using WNLB to load balance CAS server traffic, I call the FQDN of the WNLB something like casarray01.domain.com and the FQDN of the CAS array outlook.domain.com and this works just fine for me, as well as being fully supported. As long as the internal DNS record for the CAS array points to the VIP of the WNLB things should super-duper.

Q: When using Windows Network Load Balancing (WNLB) to load-balance traffic to an Exchange 2010 CAS array, does the FQDN of the WNLB need to match that of the CAS array?
A: This isn’t a requirement at all. For instance, when using Windows NLB to load-balance traffic going to the CAS array, you could specify an FQDN for the Windows NLB of, say, casarray01.contoso.com and assign the CAS array outlook.contoso.com. This would work just fine and is fully supported. As long as the internal DNS record for the CAS array points to the virtual IP of the WNLB, things should be fine.

In this case this would be port TCP 135 endpoint mapper port which is required for the CAS array.

Update: Please note that, for internally facing CAS servers front-ending MAPI traffic, you will also need to create port rules for TCP port 135 (RPC Endpoint Mapper) and TCP ports 1024-65535 (the dynamic port range for Outlook RPC access).
