Goal

How to configure Connection Manager (CMAN) to listen on two addresses ? In version 9i of Connection Manager,  it was possible to configure it to listen on two addresses, via the ADDRESS_LIST section of the CMAN.ORA file. Connection Manager version 10g has been re-written and it is now no longer possible to use the same configuration.

Attempting to start CMan version 10 with the old style configuration syntax: 

cman=
(configuration= 
 (address=(protocol=tcp)(host=NodeA)(port=2777)) 
 (address=(protocol=tcp)(host=NodeA)(port=2778)) 
  (rule_list= 
  (rule= 
  (src=*) 
  (dst=*) 
  (srv=*) 
  (act=accept) 
  (action_list= 
   (aut=off) 
   (moct=0) 
   (mct=0) 
   (mit=0) 
   (conn_stats=on)))))

Will error with following :
