Our environment is Windows 2K running Oracle 8.1.7. We have multiple databases running on this server. Is there a way to bind a given database to a certain tcp/ip port so that the database in question only listens on that port? I am new to Oracle. Is this even a best practice?

yeah.
it is common, to have multiple databases in the same machine.so u have multiple listeners for them, listening in different ports.
you can have one listener serving many databases
or one listener per database(securityWise this is good..but COSTLY). port 1521 is default. 
u can use anyhthign...speak to ur system/network administrators

You have to edit your listener.ora file, to create listener for each db instance:

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yourhost.yourdomain.com)(PORT = 1521))
)
)

LISTENER_DB2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yourhost.yourdomain.com)(PORT = 1522))
)
)

LISTENER_DB3 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yourhost.yourdomain.com)(PORT = 1523))
)
)

Then start your listeners with:

$lsnrctl start [[LISTENER]]
$lsnrctl start LISTENER_DB2
$listenr start LISTENER_DB3

It could be a good idea if you have more than one NIC with IP address on your box, and you assign every hostname = to separate IP address. Then the traffic could go through separate VLANs.

We are using something like that to separate the production from the administrative traffic on some boxes. You can bind OEM Agent to a separate IP address and port even. It is up to you how to set it up. Oracle gives you this ability.

Hope that helps,
