Wow! Your ONS is frequently down? What version and what server? I've been
running ONS on an 8.0.5.0.1 DB on OpenVMS for 419 days with the only
interruption being a planned IP Class-B-to-Class-C upgrade on the network
(Note: The SERVER didn't need rebooting -- just the networking!). Our
backup
In short, I don't. I use local resolution (as our ONS is frequently down and
unreliable) and none of my aliases have domain names attached to them. In my
sqlnet.ora, the entries about default domain, etc. are all commented out.
