Cisco's will not (AFAIK) speak OSPF on networks other than the primary
address for any given interface. I'm not familiar enough with
Livingston's OSPF implementation to describe how they will behave when the
interfaces are on different logical networks, but the same physical
network, but I suspect there's no good way to make that work either. The
easy solution is simply to get all of your ethernet interfaces on the same
network. If you're running OSPF, there should be little problem in
getting the correct other addresses routed to these boxes regardless of
what the primary ethernet address is.
