Hi,

Interesting enought that I have just had a conversation with colleagues
about this a couple of days ago.
Briefly: (extracted from Oracle Metalink note 220970.1)
"Why does netca always creates the listener which listens to public ip and
not VIP only?  This is for backward compatibility with existing clients:
consider pre-10g to 10g server upgrade. If we made upgraded listener to only
listen on VIP, then clients that didn't upgrade will not be able to reach
this listener anymore. "

Hope this helps.
