I'm confused, Frank! What about dispatchers? They don't "listen" on port 1521, do they?

They merely register themselves with a listener running on that port number, or another that you specify. True, they have to recieve netwiork connections, and therefore are open for business on a port of their own devising, but that's randomly chosen in the 50,000+ range, IIRC.

I think I must be missing your point.
