Re: Accessing two oracle names server.

You will always connect to the first names server, if it is available. The software does not "fall through" to the second server if the database name can not be resolved by the first names server.

We have set names.use_plug_and_play=on, and use the default oranamesrvr0 to keep our names servers syncronized.

names.preferred_servers =
 (address_list =
  (address =

   (protocol=tcp)
   (host = OTT41)
   (port = 1575)

   (protocol=tcp)
   (host = oranamesrvr0)
   (port = 1575)
