Oracle redirect to high ports [message #170014]

All,
Greetings! In DEV environment, DB server is able to communicate with Web server (DMZ) thru standard port (1521).

In PROD environment, the request is getting dropped and is being requested to use random high port numbers (3053, in the following case). I was just wondering what could have caused PROD DB server to look / request for high ports. I am not really sure whether both configuration setups are exactly identical (But same oracle versions 9i). I would really appreciate your help in this regard.

Please see the firewall log for your reference.

Have you configured USE_SHARED_SOCKET=TRUE on the DEV but not the production setup ?

This will force all packets to use the same port (1521) and not the random high port.

I have just checked the registry and couldn't find USE_SHARED_SOCKET on either servers. Do you guys think of any other reason?

It appears that DBA has installed Oracle 10g on both the servers, 9i being the primary database. Does 10g configuration cause any of these issues?

Thanks.
