Not that ONames doesn't have it's shortcomings, but I'm not sure how ONames is a single point of failure. Even in our little 35-alias ONames repository with only the root region, we have a secondary Names Server. With local checkpoint files, the repository is not required for continuous access, so there's no SPoF there.
Could you expound a bit on that, Jeremiah?

Put it in Oracle*Names. Will it make a difference? Does a dispatcher really re-query Names every time it tries to make a connection? No caching of service addresses? You promise? Off I go to convert my 300-instance organization to rely on a single point of failure and make a bunch more calls for every connect... YEEHAW! Oh wait. Names can't handle multiple interface and or distinct allocation of certain clients to certain listeners/interfaces. Oh well, and I thought I was going to have an exciting weekend.
