I agree that there is lot of room for improvement in OID configuration :)



It is a frustrating process to get it to work for such a simple purpose and if 
we didn't also plan to use it for EUS later, we might have tried a different 
approach.


Once it is setup though, it has been very stable (no unplanned outages due to 
bugs, etc in the past 1+ years).
We have two OID servers with replication setup. Each of them is hosted in a 
vmware environment.

service name resolution!!  This simple AND free??

Folks,

        I'm looking for what people use today now that Onames has become 
history.  This is a multi location within and outside the US and managing 
TNSNAMES.ORA files is well a PAIN.  I'm especially interested in anyone who has 
or is using TnsManager from Andrew Barry 
(http://www.shutdownabort.com/tnsmanager/), especially with regard to support.
