Got rid of tnsnames.ora for (most) clients long ago.
We converted to Oracle Names.
After doing so I found that any app with high connection rates
will frequently fail to resolve names with Oracle Names in 9.2.x
due to a bug, so some clients get tnsnames.ora, and servers
get tnsnames.ora with Oracle Names being used to resolve names
not found in the local tnsnames.ora.
Now it's time to move to OID (possibly with names proxy) as 10g
doesn't work with names for database name resolution.
