Is scan associated with Grid Control or another feature? If it is Grid Control you might want to check the following as it seems to indicate that 5 IP addresses are required. I would hate for you to have to ask for one IP and then have to right back and ask for another.

I have a friend who I am pretty sure runs 11g RAC on Linux and the last I talked to him his site is not experiencing any RAC related problems. From what I have heard 11g RAC is no worse, problem wise, than 10g RAC or 9.2 RAC.

Good Luck.
