We will be migrating to RH Linux 3.0 shortly. I read on metalink that generic connectivity is not supported on linux until 10g. We are not planning to upgrade to 10g anytime soon. What are our options - we are already looking at transparent gateway but i'm told that the licensing costs are high. Can someone suggest any third-party solutions or writing perl connectors(if that can even be done) to achieve the purpose?
