Why, exactly, does your Oracle DB cluster need to be in routable address space? Are people connecting to it from outside of your company?
BTW, the short answer is;
Because I designed it that way, to meet requirements that you haven't seen and about which you have no clue whatsoever. I am also not paying you to critique the design, nor are you paying me to deliver the design. The requirements are ... the requirements, as far as you're concerned.
So, let's see -- you complain about how hard it is to renumber your oracle servers, someone asks you why they're using routable addresses in the first place, and you reply with "because I designed it that way". If you knowingly and willfully design such a problem into your infrastructure, you don't have any right to complain about it.
I've about decided that your attitude doesn't deserve the long answers and I don't need your uninformed value-judgements, nor the bad attitude, nor your abuseive behavior. AFAIC, your under-informed speculation underwrites your credibility.
Why the two posts then? Wouldn't you be better off just shutting up? --Adam
