A (maybe dumb) static route question

I've got 3 ethers , all connected by ds1's through irx's.

irx's are running ospf

Let's call them ether A, B and C

I've got a Class C routed to each ether.

The internet is connected to ether A

so it looks like this:

INTERNET --[DS1]-----ETHERA----[DS1]---ETHERB---[DS1]---ETHERC

I've got 2 pm3's at the end of etherC

Question:

It appears that I MUST add static routes at the routers between ether A and
ether B
or the portmonsters at ether C can't be seen.

Is this necessary with OSPF -- why doesn't the portmonster announce itself?

-------------
I've got a coupla plain unix boxes on ether C -- it makes sense that they need
static routes, but what about the portmonsters?

TIA
