Unless I'm missing something here, it appears it's possible to setup the
firewall to act as a reverse proxy but without the caching for secure
access to my Lotus Notes web mail and other web servers.  Is anyone doing
this?

you can do this with :
- reverse proxy (you can set up a reverse proxy with apache or buy any
commercial product)
- vpn ssl (to allow access to your internal http server via an https
connection). this requires a specific vpn ssl gateway like the connectra
. other vendors also propose such solutions.
- direct connection via NAT.

then you have to ask you some questions :
- which level of security do I need for this server ?
- how much can I afford to reach this level of security ?

each solution proposed above has good and bad points, so basically it
depends on how you answer to the questions above.

hope this'll help.
