tnsping works but listener.ora does not contain definition !

Hi,

I have a "bug" on a server, on the client side, the tnsnames.ora contains :

ORCL.DOMAIN = (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS=(COMMUNITY= TCP)(Host = hostname)(PROTOCOL= TCP)(Port= 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ORCL))) 

On the server side there is no definition of the ORCL database in the listener.ora, but when I make a tnsping of ORCL.DOMAIN on the client I have an answer. I try to stop, start, reload the listener but it still works. I've tried to stop listener on the server and the tnsping doesn't work so thats the good listener which is interogated.

Anybody has an explanation ?

Howdy, Stranger!
