We use VPN access for work at home & off hours support. Typical configuration:

        Client: Broadband internet access(Comcast or the like) with NetScreen VPN Client Not sure what the firewall is. 2 & 3 tier clients work just spiffy.

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.

TIA,
