Question regarding Outlook connecting to Exchange using HTTP

I have a quick question regarding the use of "Exchange over the Internet -
Connect using HTTP". We use Exchange & Outlook 2003 in our environment. If I
enable this option in Outlook, does anything need to be configured/enabled on
the Exchange server side to support this? We do not allow this type of
connection over the internet. However our clients occassionally have issues
when they use the vpn so I'm thinking about trying this option.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

Yes, you must configure the server to do rpc over https.
