Can you configure a single Oracle Listener to use more than one port for a database instance? I have read a couple areas on how to do this but they didn't work. Can this be done and how?

Basically I want my Listener to use ports 1521 and 1525.

Why? Well that is another story but I do need to know if I can do it or do I simply create another listener?

I did some research and testing on this and I guess you can in fact run multiple ports on a single listener. I configured our test server to use 1521 and 1525 and it seems to connect to both ports just fine. Here is what I did as per Metalink ID 232010.1

My LISTNER.ORA:
LISTENER10GR2 =
 (ADDRESS_LIST =
       	(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
	(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = mydatabase)(PORT = 1521))
       	(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = mydatabase)(PORT = 1525))
 )


And a status:

Listening Endpoints Summary...
  (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(PIPENAME=\\.\pipe\EXTPROC0ipc)))
  (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=mydatabase)(PORT=1521)))
  (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=mydatabase)(PORT=1525)))



Also set the local_listener param, in my case to LISTENER10GR2.

You are welcome. I am of course not like most people who simply post and hope for an answer. I post my question and also continue on trying to find the answer myself. I also am one who likes to share my results if I find another answer.
