Re: reverse mapping, was WAKEUPANDTAKECARE

Sorry, but this is just 100% wrong. I've set up Oracle on many boxes and you don't need any DNS at all to set up an oracle DB. In fact, I tell our DBA's to use IP addresses in their TNSNAMES.ORA files because I don't want the DB depending on DNS.

So... you'd rather type in the address 3ffe:801:bbc4:873d:2d0:b7ff:fee8:c4d9 than the name fedb.example.com? More power to you. --bill
