OK,

I have to agree with you, my post was not very clear. Let's make things clearer:

I think that when we talk about RAC we are referring to solutions, implemented on cluster hardware, where a cluster-service represents an Oracle-Service,this service can be stopped in a node e started in another (thus: relocated). What happens to the listeners? Do I need to configure 1 listener for each node? Maybe is it better to define another cluster-service to represent the listener?

I was trying to understand how does an external application point to the DB. If I have a 2 nodes cluster with Oracle RAC installed, how should I configure the listener (listeners?) ?

I hope I have been clearer (... maybe I need to study more profoundly!!).
Thanks,
