We have two Oracle applications, each located on separate NT servers running on the same network (single domain on a LAN), using TCP/IP network protocol and SQLnet. The Windows 95 client PC's need to access both ORACLE applications, although not necessarily simultaneously. Our suppliers believe that it is only possible to have a Windows 95 client reference a single ORACLE home and so consequently our client PC's reference one Oracle Home directory on only one of the servers, but this means that in the event of a problem with this server, both applications will fail.

Is there any way of referencing multiple Oracle Homes from one client to circumvent this situation?
