Marc,

Sorry, the book is misleading.

Data Protection for Exchange works in both Active/Passive and
Active/Active!

As a rule of thumb, if something supports Active/Active,
it also supports Active/Passive since Active/Passive
is a simplified case of Active/Active.

It works just fine.

Thanks,

Del
