The symptoms you are describing are consistent with both servers returning
the same server signature. The client uses the server signature to uniquely
identify a server (even if it can be contacted via AppleTalk and IP or at
several different addresses). When the client goes to connect to a server, it first checks
the server signature it got from the server against the signatures of the currently
mounted servers. If it finds one, it just uses the existing connection. You
need to find the place where netatalk stores the signature and make sure it is unique.
Hope this helps
