Folks.
I have a situation which is somewhat weird to deal with, and I need to
know if it's possible to make work. The diagram of what is happening looks
roughly like this.
SQL Database Server

Web Server

Linux Box

------------------

client client
{Pardon my ASCII - art was never my strong point!}
The Linux box is running NAT for several networks {long story, basically
many downstream clients using the same network numbers, which is fine
because they don't normally connect to each other, but sucks when we haev
to monitor them from the ONE machine, hence the NAT}.
My question is thus - is it possible for a client to SQL query a web
server running on the Linux box {Apache}, then have that Linux box pass
the SQL query to the second web server, whereby that web server queries
the SQL database server?
There's good reasons for not having the Linux box query the SQL database
server directly, or so I'm told.
Any pointers or help appreciated.
