Will 3-server redundancy for flexnet work across different subnets?

Will 3-server redundancy for flexnet work across different subnets?  All the host are reachable but are one hop away.
I see conflicting information on your website itself.
This page suggests they have to be on the same subnet.

This on the other mandates no such requirement. Can you please clarify ?

Will redundancy work in the scenario I described above ?

Hello,

The same subnet requirement may be outdated, but I will check with our license development team.  Even though it may be supported, it wouldn't be encouraged.  The redundant servers should have excellent communication between them as they send heartbeats back and forth, and a timeout may result in delayed checkouts.  

Regards,

Jennifer
