RPC over https possible with CRM 4.0?

Question

I have a working ms crm 4.0 installation. It is in a firewalled virtual envronment. I want to use only https to outlook and my outlook crm addin.
I can web in via https to my crm installation form outside. DNS resolves correctly outside the Firewall.

I installed Internet facing deployment tool. It installed fine. I could web into the new url via Internet Explorer.

Sorry i posted for an answer but It does work. It may not be RPC over https but it is over https completely.
I have an outlook 2003 client with the Outlook CRM 4 addin installed.
The outlook part is using rpc over https to do outlook and the CRM part is https only
The only connection to the domain is https. I have a firewall in between.
I resetup my CRM VM with the IFDtool and it is working now. I had to do port 80 on the AD Domkain scheme part.
I had to have the certificate from the certificate server of the domain installed also.
One huge gripe of the outlook crm client software is that the error messages are HORRIBLE. Cannot connect is not a Error message. Developers give me more data on the errors please.

I have to recreate a successfull installation in order to create some howto docs. And I believe the sequence is get the server setup correctly. Then on the client vpn in or be on the network and point the crm outlook addin to
https://organization.domain.com. Then after it successfully configures/logs onto the crm client one time, you can go outside of your fw and the addin will still work, provided DNS is correct.
here is a netstat of my connected outlook & crm box outside of the FW. no VPN.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>netstat
Active Connections

TCP inspiron002:1751 mail.tstdomain.com:https ESTABLISHED
TCP inspiron002:1755 mtcrm:https ESTABLISHEDAnd I had to add this to my host file on the outlook client?? It is not even a FQDN like mtcrm.tstdomain.com but it works now every time.
