Thanks John, that is very useful information.
No, I don't have a names repository. I have worked with it
at a previous employer, but there was no requirement for
it here.

Subject: RE: Using a DNS alias for Oracle Names Server
Jared,
I have been using DNS aliases for both Primary and Secondary Name servers
for the past 6 years and have seen no problems (assuming no _DNS problems_
!!) In fact, both my aliases have been meaningful names such as
"XXORANS01" and "XXORANS02" (substitute XX with a prefix of your choice).
This has helped me change servers around with no problems at all.
However, note if you have a Names Repository (and I would assume you do)
that you will have to specifically update <schema>.ONRS_REGION table for
rows that may contain the actual hostname. [i.e. do review the contents of
this table]

Hi list,
A server here that houses a secondary ONAMES server has been targeted for
decommission.
The simple fix would seem to be to setup a DNS alias (CNAME) for the box.
However, I have not done this before, and would like to test it.
It would be nice to avoid a full test scenario ( all apps that hit it,
etc.).
If someone here has some experience or knowledge with this, it would be
helpful.
Thanks,
Jared
