Re: An Odd Situ, please help

Thanks Frank for you hints. At least I was confirmed that Oracle is configurable to handle 2 IPs. If possible, please give some more detailed instructions please.

I have only experiences in using TCP/IP to connect all my clients to the sever. As a few of the stations in my group running Unix , am not sure if I can
use any other protocols to connect them.

I will try it.

I know it sounds Odd and nothing to do with trafic balancing at all here. What I am doing is create a redundant (smaller) network to connect a group of about 20 stations (NT & SCO Unix) within a large network so that it can take charge in case the larger network is down. I do not figured out any better
solutions for the group that needs a 7x24 network service. And we often lost the connection with the domain controller in the large network.
