SQL*Net through a Firewall

We have a requirement to replicate a database through a firewall. I am assuming that if we can use DB_LINKS using SQL*Net through the firewall then Replication will also work (?).

However, when we tested a SQL*Net connection through a firewall our comms guy said it spawned a lot of child processes which he was not happy with (they seemed to be within a large range which he said would be difficult to allow for).

Has anyone done this successfully? The only documentation I have is an Oracle Whitepaper dated 1995 and Oracle Support said this is the latest one, which is surprising.

Does anyone know of any decent up-to-date documentation on this? I suspect it is quite a common request these days.

Thanks in Advance,
