DD to two DB's one of which is behind FW?

Hi,

We are today running TS5.0.1 and OD5.0.1 and DD 5.2. We are using DAS to deploy DCR's to SQLServer on our intranet.
For certain DCTs we want to deploy to the SQLServer DB and also to an Oracle DB that sits on another network.

Questions are:
1) According to DD Admin Guide, you can set it up to deploy to two DB's concurrently. Anyone care to share their experiences doing this?
2) We're probably going to connect the two networks through a VPN. I read that DAS cannot run through a FW, but is it any different when using VPN tunneling?

Thanks,
Håkan

Currently, deploying to two different databases under DAS environment is not officially tested or supported. However, if you are familiar with how _dd.cfg files are organized, you can manually modify them to include two destinations (one for SQLServer and another for Oracle).

As long as DAS can connect to the Oracle server directly from the host it is running on, this should work. How you configure the network accessibility is your choice. If you can ping the oracle host and access the listener port without any issues from the host where DAS is running, connectivity should be ok.
