Ah. New Network = New Subnet = New IP Addresses. There is special support in Linux and z/OS, and maybe the z/VSE stacks?, provide a "HiperSocket Accelerator" which may be enabled when you put the same IP addy on different interfaces. Dunno. z/VM TCP/IP doesn't have that capability. But you're making this way too hard, Frank. :-) Just take the OSA(s) away from z/VSE and VM TCP/IP and give it/them to the VSWITCH. No worries about new subnets, no host routes, no duplicate IP addresses. And you inherit OSA failover capability without requiring any kind of dynamic routing daemons.
