Read the "broadcast" file in the KIP docs - it tells you about this.

You actually have _TWO_ KIP networks here, both on the same
cable. One has the IP Net-number of 129.97.128, and the other
129.97.129. Pretend they're separated by a bridge, put two "H" entries
into atalkatab, and put one kbox on each "network" (give one an IP
number of ...128.xx and the other ...129.xx). Make each kbox the
rebroadcast server for its (AppleTalk-in-IP) net. If you only have one
kbox, run atalkrd on something, rebroadcasting for the "other" net.
Leave both "nets" in the same Zone or something weird might happen??
There's about a 1-in-4 chance this makes sense - I'm learning.
