You do not need two addresses. The parameter address_list really means what its name applies. You can have two addresses in a single listener. Just put in the host= the tcp/ip address of each network card.
The same applies also to tnsnames.ora. You can write two addresses in the address_list parameters. See oracle 9i net services reference guide, chapter protocol address configuration.
