Hmm...  not possible if you create a tunnel into the LAN. That's the trick
with a tunnel: it undermines all means of other control. So  the files will
emerge on the Lotus server (within its database) already inside the LAN. So
strictly speaking infected files or mails can only be scanned when already
within LAN.

Behind: inside or outside of A's LAN?

So you need a scanner for Lotus Notes on AIX or Linux?
