I was in a shop that did this all the time in the v7 and v8 days. We
had one box that we kept "legit" and then would copy its ORACLE_HOMEs
out to the other servers as needed. This was for both DEV and PROD.
I haven't tried it for 9i and I don't have any plans to. If pressed I
might try it for DEV but I'd keep all the PROD servers legit,
especially now that RAC is on the scene.
