Sigh.....


Ok, I've got OID and Multi-Master Replication working.

Now, I'm trying to get the Oracle client to use DNS to look up an SRV
record to locate the directory server(s).

With a static ldap.ora, it works fine.  As soon as I remove the ldap.ora
file, it fails.  (I thought by eliminating the ldap.ora, it would
fall-through and do a DNS lookup, but that's not happening.)  I had my
sysadmin sniffing the network, and there is not even a DNS request
coming in from my machine, when I do a tnsping.

I'm not having any luck w/ the documentation explaining what, if any,
change needs to be made so that the client will look to DNS to find an
LDAP server.  Is it supposed to be as simple as removing the ldap.ora
file?  Is there more to it than that?

Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions welcome.....

God forbid, I may need to open a TAR!  (Sorry, SR!)  Brrr.....scary! ;-)
