Thank you very much for the information Don. We are using 9i and I think MTS, though I am not certain of that. I will pass this on to our DBA, I am sure he will find this helpful.

I guess I should have asked also:

1) what version of Oracle are you using?
2) Is this using MTS or dedicated servers?

Since this is Linux, there are three cases:
1) Dedicated severs - there is no redirection.  Client talks to dedicated
server on listener port.
2) MTS & Oracle 9i - ditto
3) MTS & pre-9iR2 - MTS does redirect by default 0 to some (pseudo-)random
port above 1024 but this may be overridden by adding a pfile (init.ora)
entry like:
mts_dispatchers="(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=yourhostname)(port=443))(dispa
tchers=1)"

See: Metalink Bulletin: 1016349.102 & Note: 163082.999
Go to advanced search and search on "Doc ID" with these IDs.

There may be multiple mts_dispatchers= lines in the init file and there may
be other parameters of interest.  For the sake of this particular issue
though, the pertinent item is the ("port=443)" clause.  It would force MTS
redirects to port 443.

Actually, this parameter is obsoleted by the initiiation parameter:
   local_listener=listener_name_alias
where tnsnames.ora has an entry like:
   listener_name_alias=(address=(protocol= tcp)(host= yourhostname)(port=
443))...
and other appriopriate MTs initialization parameters.

Please see the documentation for your version for options.

Good luck!
