Is there a way to bypass the oracle nameserver and connect to the server that is running the data base? The application server is behind an internal firewall and management does not want to create a rule to allow access to the nameserver, if there a way to connect directly to the database server. I typically use perl DBI and sqlplus to connect to Oracle. I currently have

NAMES.PREFERRED_SERVERS =

      (ADDRESS_LIST =
         (ADDRESS =


            (COMMUNITY = TCP.world)

            (PROTOCOL  = TCP)

            (HOST      = nameserver1)

            (PORT      = 1575)

         )
       )

in sqlnet.ora. Received on Thu Jan 11 2007 - 14:46:07 CST
