Answer 1

It is good to hear that is getting Apple feedback from other sides regarding that network problem. I always thought that this just matters for bigger studios with multiple rooms and network installations and therefore not that a high priority for Apple. It never occurred to me that in a networked school environment that is a big issue and last time I checked Apple pretended to to care about the educational market.
If you really need the network setup to work with Logic and can't wait for Apple to fix it, try to mount the network volumes via the smb protocol instead of the afp protocol. I used it for a while under Logic 7 and it worked, haven't tried it under L8. However keep in mind that are some drawbacks:
Besides minor user interface limitations (color, icons, etc), the main problem is some boneheaded setup in Logic. Get that:
Logic saves the path to any related media file, which is ok, but it saves also the network protocol it uses! If you logged on to a network volume over smb and use an audio file, Logic will save the complete path, something like "smb://MediaVolume/audio/MyGroove.aif". Netx time you mount the MediaVolume drive via afp and open your Logic Project, it won't find that file, or automount that volume again as an smb volume. So now you have the same network volume mounted twice, via afp and smb.
Now you can see why I backed away from that solution.
