There used to be a sqlnet.ora parameter AUTOMATIC_IPC=ON/OFF.
AUTOMATIC_IPC=OFF would be appropriate for a client that has no local
database and thus should not even attempt to make a local connection.
Default this
parameter was ON so all remote clients would try IPC first. Setting the
parameter
on would have resulted in faster connect times but the time you win here is
minimal.
However - this was only for databases prior to 8i ... it's become obsolete.
