Reality check time! 1) The Oracle listener ONLY handles initial connection requests & then gets out of the way 2) Keep in mind that Ethernet was orginally designed to run on coaxial cable. This means that only a single piece of wire exists to transmit/recieve the signal. Only ONE device at a time can be transmitting on the cable at a time. Even if you could (which I don't think you can) get multiple process to listen on the same port, there will only ever be a single "talker" transmitting at time. Therefore you'd gain NO benefit from having multiple listeners on the same SUBNET interface.
