Re: Is it possible to configure Net8 as a kind of "Proxy Server" ?

The support analyst was right, the listener must run locally on the machine where the database runs, because it is the listener that spawns the oracle user (server) processes.

Anyways, you should be able to use the connection manager for this setup, what you do is, you run the connection manager as proxy, and the listener locally on the database, and then you configure your clients in a way that they use the connection manager as a gateway.

connection manager is something that can be used to do access control restriction, to use it as the gateway, multiprotocol interchange I think it was called in sqlnet v2, and as a multiplexer for multiple clients to the database over one physical connection (so as a proxy).

The way you set up your sqlnet v2 clients is like you would set up or install a multi protocol interchange, but just for the same protocol, so TCPIP<>TCPIP ... which is of course no problem.

Hope this makes sense.
