I think the OP has a couple of servers and wants to set up a local tnsnames.ora on each pointing a tnsnames alias at an LDAP "alias". It seems that the two servers both have a database DB01 and DB02 defined in LDAP. The OP wants to set up a new alias, pointing at either DB01 or DB02 depending on which server is logged in to, but using the same alias -- so MONIT on server01 points at DB01, while MONIT on server02 points at DB02, but using the LDAP configuration as opposed to hard coding the full details in tnsnames.ora.

I don't do LDAP, so I don't know if it can be done, I don't think so but given my motto is "don't think, find out", I'm not about to start guessing!

HTH Cheers,
Norm.
