Hi!
I have the same problem. The solution suggested by Helge does not produce a completely good result, since the generated reference is
not in superscript format.
I have been investigating and have found these pages:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=repfootnote
http://anthony.liekens.net/index.php/LaTeX/MultipleFootnoteReferences
Using \footnotemark[\value{footnote}] I get one footnote with two proper references (both as superscript). However, in the PDF
generated by pdflatex, the second reference (the one with footnotemark) does not appear as an hyperlink.
Using \footref from the package footmisc, I get two proper references in DVI. However, with pdflatex I get an unresolved reference for
the second reference, although this time it appears as an hyperlink.
Any idea of how to obtain proper references as hyperlinks?
Cheers,
Nicolás

This seems so obvious that maybe I misunderstand your question?
You can refer to one particular footnote as much as you want.
There is no limitiation at all.
Inside your footnote, "Insert->Label."
Whenever you want to refer to that footnote, "Insert->Cross Reference",
then select that particular footnote.
I admit that I was not clear enough. What I mean is the following.
Suppose that one has two footnotes with the same contents. Then, one
would prefer using twice the same footnote mark (directing the reader
to the same footnote text) instead of having two footnotes with
exactly the same contents. This is particularly important when one is
writing a paper with two authors with the same affiliation, and the
affiliations being given in footnotes.
A small example of what I mean follows. Maybe the LyX team could
consider the direct implementation of this feature (without ERT) in
LyX.
