I have always run Oracle Names on the same box as the database that
contains the Oracle Names data. Of course, that is not a requirement as I
also run Names on other nodes for redundancy. I would think there would be
possible licensing issues as Oracle Names comes as part of SQLNet. I don't
know that you can purchase standalone SQLNet with Oracle Names without
purchasing a complete Server license as well. You would have to install
SQLNet as well since Oracle Names must make an initial connection to an
Oracle database in order to load the SQLNet connection information for the
other Oracle databases to which you wish to connect.
