Are you planning on using Oracle’s load balancing solution for your middle tier, or a third party solution?  If the former, then they are correct - one server acts as the primary metrics server that does the load balancing among all middle tier servers.  In this case you would have a single link, not several.  That is also the case for third party solutions when set up correctly.  You only want to publish one link - not several.  It wouldn’t really be load balancing if you gave the users the opportunity to select which server they wanted to connect to
