Yury Velikanov was able to get DualServer to do the necessary DNS "fake out" for 12c RAC; presumably the principles are the same for 11gR2. Check slides 39-42 of this deck: http://www.slideshare.net/yvelikanov/oracle-12c-rac-on-your-laptop-step-by-step-implementation-guide-10-23587496 I'm a Mac+dnsmasq guy myself, so I can't comment on the efficacy of the instructions, but Yury's generally a very thorough dude. :) On Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 9:37 AM, Chris Taylor < christopherdtaylor1994@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > For a personal lab setup, do you need round robin?
