owa issue with the url

[James]

hello all,
we have exchange 2003 and we want to use the owa features. where im
confused is..... the url for owa. heres what i have...
I added an A record in the dns owa.my domain.com to point to the mail
server. and on the public side we had our web hoster to create a redirect
that look like..... http://my domain.com/exchange resolves to
http://mail.my domain.com/exchange

my problem is ive see companies the do not use the switch ( /exchange or
public )
this is what i want
on the public side http://owa.my domain.com
on the private side http://owa.my domain.com
i dont want the (/exchange) is there any suggestions

Create redirect from http://owa.mydomain.com to
http://owa.mydomain.com/exchange.

ok thanks but how to create a redirect internally... I can have my
isp/webhost do it for public, that should not be hard. but i have to
match it internally, so that we dont confuse our users no matter where they
are.....
