Interesting...
Here is the quote from 10.2 docs:
--------------------------------------
CLUSTER_INTERCONNECTS provides Oracle with information about
additional cluster interconnects available for use in Real Application
Clusters environments.

The CLUSTER_INTERCONNECTS parameter can be used to override the
default interconnect with a preferred cluster traffic network. This
parameter is useful in Data Warehouse systems that have reduced
availability requirements and high interconnect bandwidth demands. You
can also use CLUSTER_INTERCONNECTS to override the default
interconnect chosen by Oracle.

For example, if you are running two instances of Oracle for two
databases on the same machine, then you can load balance the
interconnect traffic to different physical interconnects. This does
not reduce Oracle availability.
--------------------------------------

So it does indeed look like it should work!
Obviously, it's only working with IP. If your use third party
clusterware (like Veritas) and use interconnect over LLT, for example,
than this is not needed. I wonder if you can force Oracle instances to
use UDP instead of LLT, for instance.

Alex,
it also works for ASM, and in 10g. try it. (it's there in case you have a
config problem and can't find what it is, I think)
