Mike My first reaction was "yes" but then, looking at your example, I didn't understand what you were trying to do since the addresses do not lie in the same range as defined by the subnet mask.
It's a "trick" you can play with OSAs that you can define a VIPA to lie in the same address range as defined for the LAN to which the OSA feature is attached. In effect, the VIPA is treated in the same way as the IP address defined for the OSA DEVICE/LINK with respect to ARP. This is of most benefit for dynamic VIPAs of course. This feature of OSAs is described in a coffee-table manner in "Hot Topics", February 2006 - Issue 14, under "No dynamic routing protocol? No problem!". It occurs to me that the reason I don't understand what you are trying to do is that I am oriented to the sort of functions relevant to a node supporting the IP applications rather than a node in the network performing routing - as are OSA features.

Is there anything in z/OS that allows that type of configuration for the OSA's? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
