Isn't the sunx86_510 server the one that's reporting extra addresses?
>From this:

>>> sunx86_510 # /usr/afs/bin/udebug 128.214.88.114 7002 -long
>>> Host's addresses are: 128.214.88.114 10.0.0.3 172.16.0.1 172.17.0.1 172.18.0.1

It just looks like OpenAFS will (currently) ignore NetRestrict lines
with an 'M' in front as a parse error. So your upgraded sunx86_510
machine does not restrict those addresses, and advertises the private
ones. Some of those are lower than the IPs of the sun4x_58 box, so the
sunx86_510 box looks like the new "lowest IP" server.
