Two Exchange servers in one domain
Hi sie65
Clients connect to the Client Access Services. It resolves on what Database the Mailbox is and what Server is responsible for that Mailbox Database and proxies the connection to the Backend Services.

Hello Andres-Bohren,
but I try to find how Exchange servers communicate between themselves.
I know how client can connect to Exchange server, but how client with mailbox in database in DAG1 can communicate through Exchange server from DAG2? Thats my problem, which I tried understand.
Thank you

Intra exchange communication is a bit of a mystery. There are hidden connectors created with each new Exchange server installed into an organisation for intra-organisation communication (and you can only have 1 exchange organisation per forest/domain). Unless someone has more information, you just have to assume that all exchange servers will talk to all other exchange servers at some point.
One of the requirements for exchange server installation is that traffic between them is not blocked or altered, so that's a bit of a hint they will talk to each other:
