Hi !
As far as I know, it's ipossible (from tcp/ip point of view) to do this, but you can try broadcasting. If your network is 192.168.0.0 and the servers are 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 (netmask 255.255.255.0 on all IPs) each server will receive only that packets that are sent to their IPs, but the machines are also receiving packets that are sent to 192.168.0.255 (the broadcast IP).
Another solution will be that one server will resend the same packet to the other two... but this is a little bit complicated if you say that you're new to networking (and Linux).

NAME
dfstab - file containing commands for sharing resources across a network
DESCRIPTION
dfstab resides in directory /etc/dfs and contains commands for sharing resources across a network. dfstab gives a system administrator a
uniform method of controlling the automatic sharing of local resources.
Each line of the dfstab file consists of a share(1M) command. The dfstab file can be read by the shell to share all resources. System
administrators can also prepare their own shell scripts to execute particular lines from dfstab.
The contents of dfstab put into effect when the command shown below is run. See svcadm(1M).
/usr/sbin/svcadm enable network/nfs/server
SEE ALSO
share(1M), shareall(1M), sharemgr(1M), svcadm(1M)
NOTES
Do not modify this file directly. This file is reconstructed and only maintained for backwards compatibility. Configuration lines could be
lost.
Use the sharemgr(1M) command for all share management.
