        Not sure about 9i but with 10g you can setup your connections so that you've got a primary->failover configuration. You can even preconnect to both databases if you want.

        You can also always pick an choose which node of the cluster you make connections to. You can still address individual instances as such at the tns level.

        The idle nodes will always be "active" as long as they are online.

        There is only one database in a RAC cluster, one set of datafiles, one set of shared disks. It's quite unlike dataguard in this respect.
