Alon:

Check out Oracle Names Server. This service app resolves database names in a centralized, DSN-like manner. (In other words, you don't have to have a TNSNAMES.ora on each client. You can simply connect to the database name, and ONS will resolve how to connect to it, similiar to how a DNS server resolves machine names into IP addresses. In fact, if you only have one database per machine, I believe you can have ONS resolve the database name by using the already existing DNS resolution.)

Good luck,

Dave Sisk
