[Samba] nmbd won't ignore an interface

This is a config issue, at least I hope so. I have a wbel v3 box (same
as rhel v3 box) with 2 nics and it acts as both my firewall and my samba
server.
eth0: WAN (dhclient to my cable modem provider)
eth1: LAN (dhcpd for my private network)
The relevant part of my /etc/samba/smb.conf looks like this...
[global]
interfaces = eth1 lo
bind interfaces only = yes
os level = 99
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
netbios name = WBEL
wins support = yes
The problem is, nmbd is listening/chatting to eth0 (currently it's IP
66.75.85.190) about every 5 seconds and then flooding my logs with
entries like this...
Apr 18 14:57:31 wbel nmbd[27630]: [2005/04/18 14:57:31, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_become_dmb.c:become_domain_master_query_success(225)
Apr 18 14:57:31 wbel nmbd[27630]: become_domain_master_query_success:
Apr 18 14:57:31 wbel nmbd[27630]: There is already a domain master
browser at IP 66.75.85.190 for workgroup HOME registered on subnet
UNICAST_SUBNET.
Some info about the software I'm running...
[root at wbel tmp]# uname -a
Linux wbel.bwo1.com 2.4.21-27.0.2.EL #1 Wed Jan 19 17:00:12 EST 2005
i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[root at wbel tmp]# rpm -qa | egrep "(smb|samba)"
samba-common-3.0.9-1.3E.1
pam_smb-1.1.7-1
samba-3.0.9-1.3E.1
redhat-config-samba-1.0.16-2
samba-client-3.0.9-1.3E.1
And the question is... How do I configure nmbd to completely ignore
eth0? I don't like that it listens to that nic. Maybe it's not a
security issue, but why waist my resources logging things that I don't
need or want.
Thanks in advance
Brad
