Hi !
.. was some days on holiday .. ;-)

Thanks a lot for help !

.. indeed, something is going wrong, with the communication to the rac-database ..

you see, i'm not a oracle-expert ...
i will contact my second oracle-admin and will ask him,
whats going wrong with the configuration from my first oracle-admin ...

Thanks, i will report ...

cheers,
 	martin

I'll change the sample config file and put this behavious also in the documentation I'm writing for the next version (the actual documentation is not really well written and organized).
