Yes, that's one method.

Unless you defined a specific VIPA for two hipersocket interfaces, then
yes. 

Another tip: PLEASE set up DNS entries for the different interfaces and
make the applications refer to the names, not the addresses. It's worth
the effort, even if you have to run a local DNS server (a great use for
another Linux guest, by the way -- DNS is a lot easier to set up on
Linux than z/OS).

If you have to reorganize your network at some point, changing the DNS
server once is a LOT easier than hunting down a bunch of hard-coded
addresses in applications. I'd suggest one name per interface,
consisting of the base name of the system, a dash (-) and the interface
name, eg 
snamvs-hsi0.example.com, snamvs-eth0.example.com, etc.  That way you can
explicitly reference a interface if you need to, but use a more generic
name like snamvs.example.com to refer to things like the VIPA.
