Just have a Hardware Load Balancer like CISCO ACE , KEMP , F5  , Have the Exchange Servers in the farm , Exchange server can start serving requests to the clients .

Its quite simple and easy.

We will need two VIP’s to Configure Mail flow and Client access ,

In my Scenario , Have used Cisco ACE to Load balance the Client Access and Mailflow.

 

Create Two Server Farms –
