In addition to server side-load balancing you have two options:
- CPU runqueue-based load balancing
- or round-robin balancing
in order to configure this you should set in your listener.ora the parameter
prefer_least_loaded_node_<listerer name>=off
For applications that connect at startup time only and not frequently
reconnecting, switch this parameter off will give you an 'almost' :-) even
connection distribution across all nodes.
