Subject: Question for Dataguard users

Okay, have a question for the dataguard users.  Probably more for the non-RAC 
folks than anything.

My setup is a primary and a single physical standby.

In the event of a switchover, all user connections are broken and the switch 
occurs.  Then users have to reconnect.

But, I'm looking for the best way to structure the TNSNAMES file.  I'm probably 
over thinking this, but, there has to be a way to create both entries for both 
servers in the file, but only have them use the production one.  Something 
tickles my brain from way back that it will run the TNS list in order looking 
for a connection.

Just curious how others have set up their files.

Thanks
