You are missing an additional IP Address. Just assign an additional IP
Addr to the existing interface and then have the "working" one only
listen to the original interface (eth0 maybe), and the new one listen on
the added interface (eth0.1 or what ever you name it)

Both instances have to have different configs and "storage areas" for
things like the tdbs and WINS/cached information, print$ and profiles.
Though you can still have the same shares defined. And the printers
should just work as well especially if you use CUPS.
