I've done it with straight through proxies like plug-gw from the TIS fwtk
and with forwarding using ssh/sshd.  I've been told that this works fine
when the sql*net server is running under unix but will fail when it runs
under NT because NT will try to negotiate a new connection port. I can
verify that it works on unix but I can't say for sure that it won't work
with NT.

I know that Oracle has released a toolkit to some of the firewall vendors
that provides an encryted link from sql*net client to sql*net server that
can be passed through a firewall.  TIS is the only one that I know of that
actually has a finished product for sale, however.
