We consider the classical motion of a probe D-brane moving in the backgroundgeometry of a ring of NS5 branes, assuming that the latter are non-dynamical.We analyse the solutions to the Dirac-Born-Infield (DBI) action governing theapproximate dynamics of the system. In the near horizon (throat) approximationwe find several exact solutions for the probe brane motion. These are comparedto numerical solutions obtained in more general cases. One solution ofparticular interest is when the probe undergoes oscillatory motion through thecentre of the ring (and perpendicular to it). By taking the ring radiussufficiently large, this solution should remain stable to any stringycorrections coming from open-strings stretching between the probe and theNS5-branes along the ring.Comment: 17 pages, Latex, 8 figures; References adde
