Re: Oracle Names

No,
you could use a region database or just let the names in the name server's cache. The name server must learn the names that he should resolve from another name server or just importing the the names via namesctl (load_tnsnames) or via netasst. He stores its cached information in ?/network/names. If you need a failover/loadbalanced solution you should use two nameserver that can load the names each other (after a crash).
