Hal As the slogan says "Just do it!"
An installation with which I am assisting from time to time these days has quite a demanding configuration and - thankfully - whatever the theory suggests should work does work. If you need some encouragement over attaching say two OSA feature ports to a (V)LAN, take a look at the "Hot Topics" paper "No dynamic routing protocol? No problem!" by Alfred Christensen and Gus Kassimis, February 2006 - Issue 14 http://www-304.ibm.com/jct03004c/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/hot_topics.html in the incredibly unlikely event that these publications are new to you. The emphasis here is how, as well as exploiting the clever OSA in an obvious way, you can exploit it in a less obvious way and not even bother with a dynamic routing protocol. I expect the latter will not be possible in your particular case.
