We had the same problem few month ago. We posted some questions about subject to this newsgroup and i can remember some advises from guys. Here they are:
1. Somebody said: (Probably) Oracle8 will support replication of LONG. 2. Somebody said: We wrote function to replicate LONG, but it length of LONG is less than 32K. (!?)

LONG Replication was really a sad thing for us. Finally, We refused from using LONG, rebuilded 25% of our ready to use application and turn to storing our long data in RAW arrays :(. It works now.
