Re: MTS or Dedicated Server Mode?

MTS,
Load balanced listeners would still result in <n> dedicated server processes, most of the time doing nothing, not being killed easily, with which your system can't cope.
You should be capable of supporting significantly fewer processes. Recently I saw guidelines up on technet.oracle.com, IIRC IMO, 15000 dedicated server processes is a paved highway to hell.

Hth,
