If I was wanted to multi-home on the same subnet I would use Ethernet Bonding (similar to Windows Teaming) in a failover configuration. This will make one of the links on the LAN active and the second one as a failover in case the first one goes down. It takes a couple seconds for the 2nd link to come up. I am not using this in Asterisk at the moment, but I am using it on other servers and it works great. I don't know if this would drop a call during failover, but it's something to explore.
