I once asked Oracle support this question and they replied that
it's impossible across Firewall. They reason is that the listener
though listens a well known port (1521?), the server process
so forked listens on some random port number. It is hard to restrict
traffic by random port number and allowing only 1521 simply doesn't
work!
If anyone has implemented such solution across firewall, please kindly
share your experience with us.
