No, generally web servers don't understand SQL queries :)

Is the CGI program running on the linux box, or the web server or
are the clients connecting directly to the database with a java
program or something?
You could either run a http proxy server, a DBI/DBD proxy server
or as someone else suggest, port forwarder, either http port or DBD
port, depending on how things are set up.
If there is a CGI on the linux box, you could run a DBD proxy
server on the web server and get the CGI program on the linux box
to connect to the DBD proxy, instead of the real database.
But that sounds like a lot of work compared to port forwarding.
