That's theoretically best practice. In general usage, we run both on the same pool from time to time, depending on various bugs in the OneFS stack (none of which exist now, as far as I know).
No, there is no need to do this. We have a lot of smart connect setup, running in the same IP ranges. We are also using two different subnets, subnet0 / subnet1, but this is because we are moving from one datacenter setup to another. We have different zones setup in each subnet. We find the SmartConnect works flawless. Typical problems are due to misconfiguration.
Like in every "advanced setup", you have to know what you're doing.
if you have smartconnect advanced license i would simply setup on subnet with multiple pools. One pool with static allocation for SMB clients and another pool with dynamic allocation for NFS clients.

Thank you guys.
I just wished there were clear guidances from EMC regarding this subject !

JS Labonte,
This is basically a question of weather the protocol is stateless or stateful.
Recommendation are based on such; stateless, is dynamic and stateful is static.
Please see the following best practice guide, starting at the end of page 21, and beginning of page 22.
