Hi,
An itermediate summary:
1. 6 seconds is a very strange number. It doesn't look like a TCP
timeout (1-few minutes by default).
I.e. if the client managed to issue SYN, and ip is not reachable,
the client will wait for ACK few 60'ies seconds _*unless*_ the client
have been set the (ASYNC) callback (through the timer, par ex) interrupt
before falling into TCP stack
I see one of Oracle's magic numer (3 seconds) times 2. Would like to
see 200-300 lines of sqlnet.trc on the client before the error report.
Actually that said, it leads to investigations at the client side.
Might be intriguing if that functionality is included somehow into
the _*native*_ Oracle's Oracle*Net
Common practice of poor design of client's network access is
a) we need (busyness rules require) the guaranteed responce in XXX [m]sec
b) thus the client will setup its own timeout for the case, when the
responce is not received in the specified timeframe
c) typical goblin's action - forget about previous attempt (to
establish the connection) and start a new one (nobody cares about socket
used, server process started, listener forked ...)
Usually leads to a kind of DoS attack from approved application. Ghmm
d) another symptom of goblin's design - stateless connections, i.e.
almost any request causes a new connection establishment & session
creation overhead... Client connection pooling is too complex to understand
2. Mark have rised a good point (event if it not directly applicable to
the this particular issue) - you should use only VIP's in any server
tnsnames/listener.ora, i.e. never mix native node ip with VIP. Well,
usually that seriously bothers when there are firewalls/ip remapping
etc..., i.e. complex network organization. Anyway - I like the point.
3. I'd add to Ujang's comment - if EXTPROC is not used, drop it from
the listener.ora
4. Did your answered Riyaj's request on the configuration files?

PS. Sorry for emotions (goblins etc...)
