I understand a little better now. We have given up on the isolated batch failover piece. So from a VIP perspective for Oracle 10gR2, our public facing RAC VIP's (per node) are what the clients have configured in their conncetion list and are used accordingly depending on the state of the cluster. I thought that I just read that during a failover, the failed VIP moves to another node and just simply informs clients that it is no longer receiving connections when they try to connect that VIP (IP address). I'm assuming this then instructs the client to use the next connection name in the list on another node.

I'm still not real familar on the concept of the "application" VIP. According to what Cristian stated earlier (cluster vip) it appears to be for application servers (and not client) in the Oracle environment?
