Yes and no... Physical standby in 9i has three different "modes"... The default mode is the same as physical standby in 8i... Archive logs are shipped to the standby and applied... This is the "maximum performance" mode... However, the two additional modes ("maximum protection" and "maximum availability") create "standby redo logs" on the standby server... Changes are written to both sets of redo logs (online redo on the primary and standby redo logs on the secondary)... When a log switch occurs on the primary, the standby log is also switched and applied to the secondary... Lots of little details there that I'm glossing over... Lots of info in the Dataguard manual...
