Got the configuration piece now. thanks

Just to confirm the network behavior (per Brian's earlier post) in a 3 node RAC. If clients are attaching to the VIP that is listening on Node 1 and then Node 1 has a failure. Assuming Node 1's VIP is now on Node2, will the clients actually keep their seesions processing to the Node 1 VIP or will they now select the next connection name (that of Node 2's VIP) stated in the client's conection list?

I'm use to the concept of VIP's in the Cisco world where the VIP remains the same IP address regardless of the services it supports behind it. Or also with HACMP where a service IP address (VIP) remains the same IP address regardless of what server it resides on.

Thanks
