LNA: Resolve connection with multiple application instances

I'm working on a LabVIEW Actor Framework application using Linked Network Actors. Sometimes, we have multiple developers logged onto a shared server, each launching their own copy of the application.

The application has two parts (UI and back-end) which are linked with LNA. Sometimes, it seems like one developer's UI will connect to another developer's back-end on the same computer. This sort of makes sense, given that the only information linking the two applications is an IP address which is not exclusively assigned to a single user.

To me, it makes sense that connection to 127.0.0.1 would be amiguous if multiple copies of the application are running on a single computer, even if they're launched by different users. Is this correct? Is there an established method to resolve this amiguity?
