Thanks Joel for tips. We hadn't considered the possibility of network/ socket problems. We have
to investigate more on this. With netstat -a there not a lot of FIN_WAIT_2 but i must check
when servers are more loaded. With netstat i'va only noticed that on AIX on
/etc/services there are this two lines:

ncube-lm                1521/tcp                # nCube License
Manager
ncube-lm                1521/udp                # nCube License
Manager

while having oracle listener on port 1521. I've also to put up the SR serverity to make Oracle Support handling the request.
