But it does involve Oracle as it's an EM agent configuration in question. And it was suggested here that Oracle *does* have docs on this though not even OTS has been able to produce them.

Just as a follow up I eventually opened a TAR on this and was told that all four agents could use port 1830 simultaneously even if they all reside on the same server as long as they are using different virtual host addresses. I haven't tested it yet but I am very skeptical. If that would work, then why can't I do the same with multiple listeners on port 1521? Trying to run 2 listeners on the same port #, on the same physical host, even though they are listening on separate virtual host names, has not worked in the past.
