Nope. But having it vary by instance might be in conflict with
various RAC features such as load balancing and failover. As others
pointed out, utl_file_dir is obsolescent, and database directory
objects are the preferred control for utl_file and other features.
Since they reside in the database, directory objects are the same on
all RAC instances.
