Why?
Why two listeners?
Why 8-anything?

Hmm.. exactly what were you expecting TNS_ADMIN to do for you? What did you set it to?

to re-emphasize my first question ... you *do* realize, don't you, that one listener can handle multiple instances, even if those instances are different versions of Oracle, running from different ORACLE_HOMEs? In fact, I'd say that is far more common than trying to run multiple listeners.
