Take a look at Oracle Names. (It comes with SQL*Net.) You can completely eliminate the need for TNSNAMES files altogether in most cases. All you have on the client machine is a SQLNET.ORA file that lists the server(s) running Oracle Names that the client should contact for database connection information.
