Hi All,

        Yet I hard code IP addresses into the listener.ora (I
        do not want the db server to be dependant on another
        server, if DNS is down the listener will not come up)

        and I have no problems having it listen to multiple IP's,
        either as two listener's with different names or one 
        listener listening on 2..n IP addresses.

        Just add another DESCRIPTION/ADDRESS entry to the DESCRIPTION
        LIST in listener.ora.

        Been this way since 7.2.2.4 I think.

        Client side tnsnames is different, follow Rachel's advice.
