Yes, this is precisely what I want to do.  Here's a bit more detail:

HostA will have IP 10.1.1.2/24, for example.  HostB will have IP
10.1.2.2/24.  There will be a VIP on which the application listens that is
192.168.0.2/24, and it will be aliased on the loopback interface, lo0.

What I would like to do is get an ospf config in Zebra so that the host
route from HostA will have a lower cost than that of HostB.  Once a failure
occurs on HostA, then clients will route to HostB.

You guys are much more savvy on Zebra than I.  Do any of you have any idea
how a config for this would look?
