PM3/cisco/OSPF question?

I'm just now getting ready to turn up OSPF on our network here, but i'm
trying to do it as slowly as possible as to minimize possible mistakes.

What i'm looking to do is turn up OSPF on one particular PM3 only for now.

Unfortunately, the PM3 in question is in a seperate /24 as the routers
ethernet port.

I have been informed that cisco's wont do OSPF on secondary addresses,
correct?

I also have an extra ethernet port on the router, which got me
thinking. What happens if you plug in two ethernet ports into the same LAN
on a cisco router? I could setup the e1/0 interface with a primary ip
address in the same /24 as the ether0 on the pm3 in question. But would
this cause weird things to happen for the router?

Secondly, assuming i get the first step working and make sure that all is
well and that the eth0 on the cisco and the pm3 are in the same /24, does
the /29 that i want to assign a customer over the pm3 need to also be in
that same /24 or does it not matter. I'm assuming it shouldnt matter what
/24 the /29 is allocated out of, but i want to double check.

Forgive me for being a newbie, just trying to learn :(
