Re: Replication over the Internet?

I would also like to know if there is a way to do this directly. I have been working with microsoft's VPN for the past 8 months and have found lots of uses for it. Since it can establish a dial on demand connection to connect one network to another, I can see how it could be used to accomplish this task. I have never done it using oracle replication, but I have used a VPN to do Lotus Notes replication. It works great, so I see no reason why Oracle wouldn't work just as well. I hope this info at least helps
