z/VM supports host routes, but they aren't necessary in this configuration. I have a vague feeling that you are trying to "fake out" the network, and that way lies both madness and damnation. If you are trying to define multiple interfaces for redundancy, you don't need them when using a VSWITCH. The VSWITCH handles the OSA failover transparently to the guests using the VSWITCH. So I'll put it this way: Tell us what you are trying to do (as opposed to 'configure') and then let's work on the best virtual network design to meet your needs. Given that design, we can build the configuration files to implement it. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
