Two listeners running on same port

MaxDec 12 2011 — edited Dec 12 2011
Oracle Version : 11.2
OS Platform : AIX 6.1 (I think this question is valid for Solaris and Linux as well)


Our company policy is to create one listener for each DB(Its a bit unusual, I know. I don't make these decisions )
Today , i created a listener for a newly created DB.
But the port for the newly created listener was already being used by another listener serving another DB.

I tested connecting to the newly created DB using its listener. It works fine !!! I was under the impression that two processes(listeners) cannot use the same port ?
