953.0. "Routing via high cost connectors" by CHEFS::16.37.10.42::Neil Eke () Fri Mar 21 1997 19:09

If an Exchange server has two connectors (A and B):

A has a cost of 1
B has a cost of 99

All messages should take the lowest cost route i.e.
use connector A.  However it has been noted that 
even whilst connector A is functioning correctly,
sometimes messages are still routed via connector B.

Does anybody have a reasonable explanation or any 
useful experience of this anomoly. 

Thank You,

Neil,

	Are the two connectors on a messaging bridgehead or two different
	servers ?

	If they are on two different servers then I could see the reason why,
	if they are not then I don't know.

Nigel.
