With this many people, you might want to look at the Oracle Names server. Think of it as a DNS for Oracle databases. Of course, it the Names server goes down, no one can connect to anything. I have also heard about people 'sharing' a TNSNAME.ORA file on a common network drive that everyone can attach to, but this may become a performance problem for the server.

You can use the Oracle Network Manager to generate a generic TNSNAMES.ORA file, but it requires a little more work than the 'Easy' approach.
