Ethernet networks don't scale; that's why we have IP networks.

So in general a client needs one address for each server? Rather limiting for clients on small subnets, especially considering the case of n clients on a subnet, each connecting to m different servers.

The same way in which an ethernet network scales? One ethernet device
can have multiple IPs, but separate (unbonded) ethernet devices
generally do not share IPs.
