your looking to use protocol.ora file. there is a known bug that the protocol.ora file might not be read(bug #920257 in 8.1.5) if the protocol.ora does not work, then name it .protocol.ora (notice the leading dot) and it should work.

here are the parts you 'll want to read

         tcp.excluded_nodes= (hr.com, 144.25.5.25)
         tcp.invited_nodes= (sales.com, 144.185.5.73)
          tcp.validnode_checking=yes
