Mounted network volume info

Question

We have two file servers each with multiple shares. I've been looking for a method by which applescript examines all mounted volumes on the desktop and determines which network shares come from which file server. No luck so far. I realize that I could just build a table (we're only talking about a few dozen shares on two servers), but I'd rather have a dynamic solution for a variety of reasons. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hello StiffMittens,
You may possibly be able to extract server information from alias of shared volume.
Like the following. The first two are getting dump data of alias record, the last one is using 'alias description for' command of Satimage OSAX.
Only if they contain some useful information to identify server...
Good luck,
H
--SCRIPT1
set a to "AFP_VOL:" as alias
return {{«class TEMP»:a}} as string --record dump (undocumented method)
--END OF SCRIPT1
--SCRIPT2
set a to "AFP_VOL:" as alias
set fp to "" & (path to "desk") & "alias dump.txt"
writeData(fp, a, {_append:false})
on writeData(fp, x, {append:append})
  text fp: output file path
  data x: anything to be written to output file
  boolean _append: true to append data, false to replace data
local a
try
open for access (file fp) with write permission
set a to fp as alias
if not _append then set eof a to 0
write x to a starting at eof
close access a
on error errs number errn
try
close access file fp
on error --
end try
error "writeData(): " & errs number errn
end try
end writeData
--END OF SCRIPT2
--SCRIPT3
  using Satimage OSAX

set a to "AFP_VOL:" as alias
return alias description for a
--END OF SCRIPT3
