I run netatalk here on my home network and I have noticed that my netatalk-ers all grab addresses in the 65280 range (as well as I can recall, the left side of the dot is the network range, the right side the host address, and the other side of the colon is a port or service identifier).

It looks like something is assuming a router. For example, I can use aecho to "ping" hosts in the same range with no qualifiers.
