OCS Edge network interface configuration

Question

I am having trouble on configuring my network interface to support my edge server deployment,

here is my deployment info.

Edge Server

Network Interface 1 (For communication between COS Edge and OCS internal server)
172.171.1.7 (Is behind firewall)

Network Interface 2 (For Access Edge and WebConf Edge)
172.171.1.8 and 172.171.1.9 (Is behind firewall, NATed)

Network Interface 3 (For AV Edge)
123.123.123.123 (Just an example, is a public IP address)

It comes to me a problem that each of the interface need to put default gateway, but since windows 2003 server only support on default gateway, is there any trick on this??

Thanks for help.

You can add alternate "gateways" by using the ROUTE command and adding persistent entries to the server's routing table.

For Example: ROUTE -p ADD 192.168.1.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 172.171.1.1

However, I think you might run into trouble trying to put external and internal interfaces on the same subnet.

You shouldn't define a default gateway on more than one adapter as that configuration turns Windows Server into a non-opportunistic router.

Also using the same subnetwork on both internal and external interfaces is not supported. Take a look at these articles for more details:
