When setting up the IP address for a hipersocket I am curious as to if people are giving it the same IP address as with the regular outside of the mainframe (OSA or whatever) IP address. We have TCP/IP stacks with hipersockets running on VSE, Linux and z/OS. On some of the VSE stacks we use the same IP address for the hipersocket as we do for the OSA. On a few other VSE stacks we give them separate IP addresses, and we do the same (different addresses) for all of the Linux and z/OS stacks. How do other places do it? And is there any particular reason?
I'm only an applications developer, so I don't really know what all of the 'systems' type issues there might be to prefer one over the other. Seems to me it would be nice not to have two different addresses so that you don't have to remember to use one when coming from the outside world and another when coming from another system residing on the same mainframe. But there also may be some very good reasons for this type of separation.
