They may not "officially" support it, but that's certainly a 100% viable solution. I used to do the same thing on a NetWare LAN.
There's lots of things that work quite well that Oracle says "don't do" for the reason that they don't want to deal with it if you run into a problem. Hand-edited tnsnames files are another. As long as you're careful with the syntax and parentheses and such, they work fine, Oracle knows it, they probably do it themselves internally!
