I thought port redirection still took place, but apparently Oracle has changed their methodology (fairly quietly). Check out a thread on this from about two months ago ('ye olde 1521')

Subject: Port sharing (port 1521) on Unix

Hi!

I have a rather basic question: is it true that under Unix, all dedicated server processes (=3D shadow processes) use port 1521 (i.e. = the same port that the listener uses) because of"port sharing"?

On Windows, every dedicated server process get its own port (through port redirection) to communicate with the client.

Is this true? I always thought that also on Unix, port redirection takes place.

This is 9.2 on HP-UX 11i.

Thanks,
Helmut
