I don't know if it's relevant for your problem, anyway, with LOAD_BALANCE=ON I 
was able to reproduce at will the following problem by one of my customers a 
couple of years ago (was 9.2.0.4, I think...).

 

Let's say we have two nodes. Node A is much more loaded than node B (I know, it 
should not happen since LOAD_BALANCE=ON, but we work with real systems...). 
Now, when node B crashes (e.g. powered off...), the new connections should go 
to node A. But, the listener on node A is still thinking that node B is there 
AND is less loaded. Therefore they are forwarded to node B... Since node B is 
not up and running the client gets a nice error!

 

We find only two methods to solve this problem:

- don't use LOAD_BALANCE=ON

- execute "lsnrctl reload" on node A

 

Therefore, IMO, you should do some tests without LOAD_BALANCE=ON.
