DD to two DB's one of which is behind FW?

System

Hi,

We are today running TS5.0.1 and OD5.0.1 and DD 5.2. We are using DAS to deploy DCR's to SQLServer on our intranet.
For certain DCTs we want to deploy to the SQLServer DB and also to an Oracle DB that sits on another network.

Questions are:
1) According to DD Admin Guide, you can set it up to deploy to two DB's concurrently. Anyone care to share their experiences doing this?
2) We're probably going to connect the two networks through a VPN. I read that DAS cannot run through a FW, but is it any different when using VPN tunneling?

Thanks,
Håkan
