I can be much more specific if needed but has anyone had a problem
with a firewall sitting between a RAC cluster and your workstation
causing host name to change? Let be clarify that. My TNSNames file has
both nodes addresses in it. I connect via SQL*Plus to the name
associated to this entry. A listener trace on my system show it being
sent. A trace on both nodes shows it being received. The trace from,
lets say node 1, show the connect command being received. It then does
a redirect via server side load balancing and sends the connection
info back to me indicating that I will be connected to node 2 and port
1234. When this packet gets back to my system the trace shows that the
packet just sent indicates I should connect to node 1, not node 2 that
was just sent, and that it should be on the port that was just sent(it
comes across without being changed). Odd, it seems like the packet is
being changed in transit.
