Demystifying the CAS Array Object - Part 1

Great post of MSExchange Team about CAS Array object.

The following list is a collection of truths many customers are not aware of when it comes to the CAS array object which I'll try to demystify. Part 1 will discuss the first three items and l'll cover the last three items in part 2.

1. A CAS array object does not load balance your traffic
2. A CAS array object does not service Autodiscover, OWA, ECP, EWS, IMAP, POP, or SMTP
3. A CAS array object does not need to be part of your SSL certificate
4. A CAS array object should not be resolvable via DNS by external clients
5. A CAS array object should not be configured or changed after creating Exchange 2010 mailbox databases and moving mailboxes into the databases
6. A CAS array object should be configured even if you only have one CAS or a single multi-role server
