Thanks Yechiel and Madlen
 
I was afraid that spreading the IP address was going to be the solution !!!
 
Tks again
 
Ramon.

I do not know if you can know which connection the user use.
However, these changes apply only to the initial connection.
After the user connect he gets a new port number that connect
directly to his thread, so I would not worry about the load
on the listener.
 
You can use a different tnsnames for each half of you company,
One that use the current IP address and one that use the new one.
This way you can be sure that the load is spread through both cards.

Hello Ramon
 
I think that you have an error in your parameters.
As far as I know (not much) the second network card have a different TCP/IP address.
You have to put this address in the added line in listener.ora and add (load_balance=on).
      (ADDRESS_LIST =
         (load_balance=on)
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myserver)(PORT = 1521))   ---> Original
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = new network card address)(PORT = 1526))   ---> Added
      )
   
In the tnsnames you have to use load_balance=on and put both addresses and ports in the address list:
(description=
 (address list=
  (load_balance=on)
  (address=(protocol=TCP,host=225.125.110.5,port=1521))
  (address=(protocol=TCP,host=new network card address,port=1526))
 
This way the clients will use both address.

Tks Kevin,
 
I didn't setup the DNS to do that.  I ping myserver and is using the new address.  Don't know how to do it either.
 
What I am planning to do is to set the manually the ip address to the both port.  I am using local names.
 
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 225.125.100.5)(PORT = 1521))   ---> Original
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 225.125.100.6)(PORT = 1526))   ---> Added

Your HOSTNAME of 'myserver' would tell you which.
 
Since you have the same hostname on the listener, both ports would currently be using the same IP address.
 
Did you setup DNS so that the cards share a Hostname ?

Hi list,
 
Scenario Win2000 server, 8.1.7.
 
I added a network card to my DB Server.  I want the listener to accept connections for the 2 IP address to make load balance.  I just added a line to the listener file with a different port.
 
How can I assure that the port 1521 is listening for the net address 01 and the port 1526 in the address 02 ?
 
Is that correct ?
