What you are referring to sounds like the "hot standby database" concept. This was not supported officially by Oracle Corp. until 7.2, I belive. It is intended for quick database recovery, and not for replication, though. Also, if disaster strikes at the 'parent' site, you may loose one or more redo logs (at least the current online redo log).

I hope this helps.
