DB2 & SQL server?

Hi Folks,
We have a DB2 database on a WAN at work. I want to access the database from
some Visual Basic for Applications code that I have written at work.
The database itself is not directly accessable and as it was described to me
is "buffered"
from the users by a second computer which passes on requests for data.
I assume that this intermediary computer would be whats called a SQL server?
If my assumption above is correct is it possible to get a query to the
server which
it will accept and reply to?
Anyone?
Cheers
