I've used it to allow DB connections through a non-sqlnet-aware firewall, and also to enable SSH tunneling of DB sessions. In the former case the firewall was blocking the redirect, although port 1521 itself was open. In the latter, a redirect would have taken us outside the encrypted tunnel.

CMAN doesn't seem particularly featurefull, but it's more than adequate for these type of situations.

I sent this last night. Im not sure if it went through. If it did, I apologize for the spam.

Does anyone use CMAN? Its in the certification books(yes I know certification isnt very good, but I might as well learn something if Im going to do it), but I dont know anyone using it. It strikes me as a poor mans application serve? Or am I missing something?

Does anyone use names server? It strikes me as only being useful for client server applications or for a large development team where lots of people need Toad and/or SQLPlus access to many instances.

Or have I underestimated its value?
