NAMES.PREFERRED_SERVERS

Synopsis

NAMES.PREFERRED_SERVERS = (ADDRESS_LIST = (address)
            [(address)...] )

Specifies the list of Names servers to be used when using Oracle Names to resolve a net service name. For the definition of address, see Appendix B. Although there is no default value, if you used Names Control or the Net8 Assistant to discover available Names servers on the network, the $ORACLE_HOME/network /names/sdns.ora file will also contain a list of Names servers to use. The NAMES.PREFERRED_SERVERS setting, if it’s used, overrides the list in sdns.ora.
