connecting to ODBC across machines

Hi all, I am hesitant to ask this to the list but have been having difficulty finding the answer. (it certainly isn't in the manual!) I am going to setup a server running Linux and use php to get data from an antiquated Database for which we have windows ODBC drivers. Unfortunately updating the database is not an option. That being said, there is no way to directly specify which machine the dsn points to, is there? I believe that a third party product like openlink sw would be needed but I am looking for a few pointed directions. An alternative solution, running an NT server with apache/php has already been identified but is a remote possibility. I am trying to avoid that for cost considerations. Anybody out there know what I need to know. I know others have been asking these types of questions and I apologize for not having found the answers already.
