Good point. OID (Oracle Internet Directory) is replacing Oracle Names in 9i.
It's supposed to have an alternate interface that makes it look like a Names
server on the network, but address resolution is actually occurring in OID.
I haven't seen 9i yet as it's not supported on our platform. Anyone tried to
set up this OID alter ego? Any comments about it?
