1.Is there any way to check whether I am using WSAM or JSAM ?
2.Do I see the difference in the HOSTS file during "connected" and "not connected"
3.Network Connect means I need to install client on my laptop ?
4.Does this Interception procedure translates any ip address in to the destination ip subnet so that they can talk to each other ?
Thanks Again

The answer is "it depends" on how the box was configured.
Juniper SSL boxes use a variety of different ways to secure access to resources within your office lan.
If we take your lotus notes for now, the most common way of allowing the access from your laptop notes app to the lotus server is using Secure Application Manager. This comes in 2 flavours, the WSAM (for windows machines, uses activex) or JSAM (java version, runs on all platforms).
These SAMs will then intercept the traffic/requests for the lotus server and send it down the SSL tunnel or alternatively re write your hosts file to do the interception.
Same goes for all other apps, ike outlook, pcanywhere etc, the traffic is intercepted and sent down the tunnel.
Other options include network connect, which is a full IPSEC client over SSL and gives you a network connect IP from the SSL VPN box and basically grants full network access.
Does this answer your questions?
