is using Cisco VPN with SecurID tokens to grant remote access.
Once you log in, you are a part of the LAN and can use tnsnames.ora on
your local machine to connect to the PULSE database. No adjustments are
needed on the oracle side, but one needs to have the RSA token and Cisco VPN client to connect. I must say that the whole thing worked remarkably well and was sometimes even faster then the local LAN (I have cable modem).

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. Security is a paramount concern, of course, and only our Web server has a public IP address, with the application and database servers completely private.
We supply a number of standard reports, but most of our customers want
some custom reports as well. We would like to give them access to our
database, possibly over a VPN, but only if security can be maintained.
I'd like to know if anyone has faced such a situation, and what kind
of
configuration (network/firewall/VPN/Oracle Net) might make such access
possible.
