Multiple SQL*Net listener process

Hi,

Can anyone please clarify the following question.

It's possible to have multiple SQL*NET listener process running on one machine (ex. on a UNIX machine LIST1 listening on 1521 and LIST2 listening on 1522). The same can be achieved by starting a listener and listening on multiple ports.

Under what circumstances would one have multiple listener process on one machine? Has anyone have an application that requires this?

The only reason I can think of is starting/stopping the listener processess independently.  

Please email and post.

Thanks in advance.
