we have designed a system that requires that query sources be read from a read only (R/O) server and written to server with R/W.

This works well using the SCD wizard, because the source query which uses the R/O is in the OLE DB data flow step above it in the package.

But when the Lookup transformation wizard puts the source query INSIDE the transform itself. this presents a problem because i cant have more than one connection string in operation at once.

Can i get the Lookup transform to use as input the data from the previous OLE DB step somehow? Failing that, is there another way to do a lookup using source data from one connection and update a file after doing the lookup on another (i.e. destination ) connection?
