What if you create a virtual interface on the internal DB server with the
External IP?
Setup the listener.ora file to listen on both the internal IP interface and
external IP interface.
Connections should only go to the internal IP interface; and the listener
should be able to
handle that.
By creating an 'external interface' on the DB server, this should 'plumb'
the listener for
external connections.
Anyone want to give that a try?
