Problem:
An ActiveX Control can't find database, probably a Proxy Server problem??.

Situation:
I have an ActiveX Control witch is downloaded in a client browser. This component must connect to a database located on an intranet server witch is not accessible from the WEB.

Architecture:
WEB_Server: use Microsoft Proxy client and have disabled IP forwarding to prevent any incoming IP request from reaching other servers in our intranet.

SQL_Server: contains Microsoft SQL Server this is where the database is located.

I already have three solutions but I need better one if there's some.
- Move the database to the WEB_Server (This is not even an option)
- Create proxy components to forward the SQL requests to the SQL_Server. (Probably to long for the time that is allowed to the project)
- Modify the settings of the Proxy Server. This is probably the good one but I don't know how to do this. So if anybody know how let me know.
