This is from the appleshareip mailing list.
I personally suspect that the bug report was caused by a pilot error on 
the users part.

We have not seen that in our lab, I connect to servers in the same
subnet every day. The only address filtering we do is to
avoid trying to connect to broadcast addresses. We check to see if 
the server is already mounted by comparing server signatures, if no
signature is present we will check the server addresses, and server 
names. The server signature is derived from the serial number, so 
if the person is having problems mounting two servers on the same 
subnet they should make sure that both servers have their own serial 
numbers.
