The problem with allow_duplicate_networks is that it doesn't really work
as you might think it does. If you have anti-spoofing in place, traffic
coming in on the 2nd port will try to come out using the 1st port and it
just won't work.

You can assign multiple fixed_ips to the same Neutron port. Be advised
that there is a maximum of fixed ips a port can get assigned.
Fortunately, you can control it with the max_fixed_ips_per_port Neutron
config.

Unfortunately, the Horizon dashboard does not support this feature (you
can see the information, you just can't assign more IPs), but the CLI
does by repeating the --fixed-ip argument.

As for limiting the number of IPs per port on a specific network, I
don't think it's possible yet. I would be interested to see it
implemented as well for the same reason as you.
