Only one thing can answer on the same address/port at
one time, so you can only have one server there.  However
it should be possible to get the effect you want with
a 'shared-network' statement wrapping an assortment of
different settings that you would like to have given
to different machines.  I'm not sure if the entries really
have to be in different but physically overlaid subnets
or how it chooses which to use for any particular answer
but it does give you a way to mix things up.
