Thanks a lot Aaron and Robert. That worked like a charm!

I set the 'allow_overlapping_ips = True' in quantum.conf and rebooted the
stack(wish there was an easy cli to restart individual projects/services or
may be I dont know if one exists).

And while still in a Flat network setup I could create the duplicate
networks.

root@openstack:~# nova list

+--------------------------------------+------------------+--------+-------------------------------------------+
root@openstack:~#

Instances A1 and* *A2 can communicate over the private network while B1
cannot talk to A2 as desired and it doesnt complain about conflicting IP
either.

I am using the
quantum.plugins.openvswitch.ovs_quantum_plugin.OVSQuantumPluginV2 plugin.

Balu
