I have to agree with Rich, We've used ONS from 7.3, 8.0, and now 8.1 and their
never down, unless something catastrophic happens. But then we've got a cluster
of 4 ONS servers, 2 at each campus for redundancy purposes.

The O'Reilly Net8 book states:
It's possible to run a Net8 network without using domains at all.
If this is true, why create net service names that are qualified by a domain
name, why define a default domain in sqlnet.ora, etc.? What benefit do you
get by setting things up to use a domain?

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.
