This might cause you more security problems than you might think, because
you're giving folks on the outside direct access to hit one of your Notes
Servers. _If_ someone does find a way into the server, then unless you also
use some form of access list to prevent anyone hitting the server, then they
can get in.
Whats really required is some firewall vendor to come up with a real notes
proxy which understands the protocol ... anyone volunteer? There is a market
for this, certainly I know of a couple of customers who'd like it.
