Well you need to read up on Oracle TNS service 

Even though it is called Transparent Network Substrate, I am sure the name
was choosen to be similar to DNS and it does just the same thing 

I was saying a DNS on your linux server would server would be nice because
if the TNS fails then the hostname for database is resolved using the DNS

if you have never setup Oracle on Linux then I suggest the book "Oracle
for Linux start up kit", published in India by Tata McGraw Hill has Ora8i
for Linux enterprise edition on the CD with a host of other goodies and
scripts which allow you to do the thing you want 

in php the following command works

OCILogon (string username, string password [, string db])

Where the string db is a valid TNS name (anywhere on your network)

also you can pass the username and password as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

again the user should have permissions to access the said Oracle db over a
remote connection

HTH
