Oracle support is right - there's nothing wrong with your listener.
Since you spoke with Oracle support, I assume they had you do all the
expected things - like making sure you can ping syrlims.syrrx.com and
chem1.syrrx.com, typing 'lsnrctl services' to make sure both databases
registered with the listener, turning on tnsping trace to see if that
gave you any clues, making sure your client tnsnames.ora (and maybe
sqlnet.ora) files match the listener parameters, making sure you set
ORACLE_SID (or maybe TWO_TASK) correctly.
Since you know your listener.ora is correct, how about supplying some
other info about the network setup. Are you trying to connect from a
separate client host or are you having trouble connecting locally?
