Betsy,
Prior to VSWITCHes, I ran with two different OSAs attached to my TCPIP stack (each with its own HOME address), and a VIPA address. OSPF provided for redundancy if one of the OSAs went down. The VIPA address was the one used by DNS to point to the system. When VSWITCHes were introduced, I defined a VSWITCH which used those two OSAs and attached the TCPIP stack to the VSWITCH. TCPIP saw a single interface and wasset up with static routing. Much simpler TCPIP configuration, and the VSWITCH provided the redundancy if one of the OSA links goes down. Unless you need OSPF to manage other interfaces (Hipersockets, GLANs, CTCs), I'd stick with static routes.
