EV with Exchange DAG Failover

Hi !

I have two Exchange with DAG and Windows failover option.
- SrvExch01 = 10.0.0.1
- SrvExch02 = 10.0.0.2

DNS alias for the virtual ip:

 - MailExchange = 10.0.0.3.

I should add per-server in EV ?
I can not specify the alias "MailExchange" ?

What will happen when SrvExch01 will be unavailable and that mailbox will be on SrvExch02 ? The transfer will be automatic ?

Thank you very much.

    Create a system mailbox on each server in an unreplicated DB.  Create an archiving task for each server.  In the event of a DAG failover the archiving task will pick up the "active" copy of the mailbox for archiving.
