Oracle JDBC Driver: AlternateServers
An Ethereal packet trace of TCP network activity made by an Oracle JDBC driver (part of the macromedia_drivers.jar version 3.5) from ColdFusion MX 7. This trace demonstrates how three attempts were made to connect to an Oracle database when using the AlternateServers connection string parameter.
The default port was intentionally listed incorrectly as 1234, followed by another incorrect port of 3456, and the last alt server used the right port of 1521. The trace shows that the third connection attempt was to port 1521 and was successful.
The red highlights are made by the Ethereal GUI to denote failed TCP connection attempts.
