RE: DBLINKs in critical production system

Yes I agree with your explanation. How different it is accessing data
from db link and direct connection without dblink considering I have a
very good separate IP/card for dblink

Imagine sticking a post-it with username/password information on your
monitor... db_links are just about the same, especially pre-10g because
the passwords are not encrypted.

I've walked in and found that my database is hung because I did a
developer a favor so they could quickly pull some data from a production
system. Their sql took forever, backup software tried to shutdown the
development database but couldn't because of said sql, ORA-600s and some
relationship building with Oracle support ensued. This was pre audit
everything requirements, so I would recommend that if you have to use
them, make sure your security team and the business has it approved in
writing. Technically they can cause problems but from a security
standpoint you can be heavily exposed.
