Database Server - Win 2000 Oracle 9.2.0.1

Client - Win 2000 Oracle Client 9.2.0.1

Between the database server and the client lies a firewall (the client is web facing) and because we are using Microsoft Transaction Server, we must use Oracle Shared Server (formerly MTS).

The problem is how to limit the ports on which Oracle will communicate, so we can close down the firewall to these specific ports. Prior to 8i, it would be by specifying the port numbers for the dispatchers.Since 8i this is not possible.

Am I correct in thinking that CMAN (Communication Manager) will enable me to do this ?

Any examples would be very helpfull.

Many thanks,
