Of course you need mutilple listeners! Sheez Sybrand - I'm not that stupid. Yet. :-)

However, you deal with a _single_ configuration - the listener.ora file. The fact that this creates multiple listener processes is a technical point that I think the original poster is not interested in. Just yet.

So to answer the original poster's question.

Yes. You can have a listener configuration that listens on multiple ports for the same database. Multiple databases on the same port. Or multiple databases on multiple ports.

Longer answer. Which is not what I intended to get into and which is why I said RTFM. Each listener configuration _entry_ in the listener.ora will spawn a separate process on Unix (which is btw not the exaclty case on NT so who is now more correct Sybrand? ;-).
