Yes

ARP Takeover

...

When TCP/IP is started in QDIO mode, it downloads all the home IP addresses 
in the stack and stores them in each OSA-Express feature. This service of 
QDIO architecture occurs automatically for OSD channels.

For OSA-Express features set up as OSE channels (non-QDIO), you must 
define multiple IP addresses in the OAT using OSA/SF as all the ARP functions 
reside in the Host TCP/IP Stack. The OSA-Express then responds to ARP 
requests for its own IP address, as well as for virtual IP addresses (VIPAs). 
The OSA that is planned to takeover the ARP responsibility should have its 
own IP address, VIPA address and the IP addresses that it is planned to 
takeover in its OSA Address Table.

What symptoms do you see?

>3. Do I have to use leading zeroes in the IP addresses?

I don't believe so.
