Alan, This query should be resolved at the remote end. I forget which version of Oracle was the first to know enough to do that.
Which version are you on? Have you traced the SQL?

Does anyone know a way (other than a snapshot or materialized view of the remote data on the local db) to force the result set of data (due to the "where" clause) to be resolved on the remote side?
