If you packet would make it to the router and the router had this configuration: - eth0: 192.168.1.0/24 - eth1: 192.168.1.0/24 the router cannot distinguish the subnets. But you'd not even get that far. When you send a packet from a client to the server and this server has same IP as the client (thus src and dst IP are the same), then the packet wouldn't even make it to the router: it would be sent to itself.
