Hi David,
Yes you can set up multiple listeners. All you have to do is set up
different listener name and port number for the second listener (in
listener.ora).
Example:
The default name of the listener is "listener". We created another
listener called "train".
#
TRAIN =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS= (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= cf1)(Port= 1527))
)
SID_LIST_TRAIN =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = hr7trn) (SID_NAME = hr7trn) (ORACLE_HOME = /e40/app/oracle/product/8.0.5) )
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = hr7sys) (SID_NAME = hr7sys) (ORACLE_HOME = /e40/app/oracle/product/8.0.5) )
STARTUP_WAIT_TIME_LISTENER = 0
CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 10
TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER = OFF

Note: Don't forget to append the name of the listener when you start and
stop the listener process.
Ex: lsnrctl start <listenerName> (default is listener)
lsnrctl start <---------- Brings up the listener's listener lsnrctl start train <--- Brings up the train's listener > -----Original Message----- > From: Olson, David [SMTP:OlsonD_at_PIOS.COM] > Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2000 4:08 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L; oracledba_at_lazydba.com > Subject: 2 Listeners > > DBA's, > > We have 5 instances running on one large UNIX box.
