We have a pretty tough security policy here and we are looking into hosting our website which is built on .net at a hosting company like rackspace. We currently use Oracle internally. What are some options to look at to connect to our Oracle DB internally. Right now our .net website sits in our DMZ and access a webservice we built that resides on a server in the LAN that then accesses only certain oracle functions on the DB. I would like the same setup but would like it to use SSL since we are now going to p[ut the webserver at a hosting company. What is out there that allows this type of connection tha ti could look at? FYI..I am going to ask Oracle the same question but thought since the website is .net i would get both sides of the street. Thanks.

The issue you need to overcome here is that your current DMZ server access a web service on your LAN. If you move to a hosted environment, you would have to configure your firewall rules to allow the same type of traffic into this web service, but from the hosted infrastructure's IP. That would be the only required change without having to modify the rest of the infrastructure. The question then becomes is whether or not your security policies allows such type of access.
