I can tell you right now, i'm VPN'd to a client overseas and have NOT been able to get OCI to work over the protocol. I can telnet/ssh to the machine where the Oracle server runs (its Solaris) and work via a sql*plus window, but nothing runs locally (i.e., Toad or windows version of sql*plus connected to the remote server).
If there's some secret to making OCI work over VPN, we were not able to find it. boss > > We are an Application Service Provider--we maintain a set of servers in > a colocation facility and our customers use our application via the > Web.
