Subject: Proxying Lotus Notes

Hello all.  Let me know if there's a more appropriate list for this question,
or if there's some documentation I need to be looking at.

Has anyone ever tried to proxy Lotus Notes?  We're using release 3.2, but might
upgrade to 4.0.  I looked through all the Notes documentation, and visited their
website, and couldn't find any mentions of proxies, so I'm guessing that neither
release's client is proxy-aware, but feel free to correct me (i'd love to be wrong).
I've written a generic proxy, that just forwards the data to the intended server,
but that doesn't seem to cut it with Notes.

Another idea I had was that it might be possible to use the Notes server as
a proxy, since it appears to be possible to direct/control client access to
servers this way.  However, I don't have any experience administering Notes,
so I'm not sure how difficult this would be to set up, and I am also not aware
of its security holes (assuming that there are some).

Thanks
Renee
