heck, me again;
I tried as you described below. Two things happened:
1. I got an error message in the log files:
>2000/01/19 16:45:59 netbios nameserver version 1.9.18p10 started
>Copyright Andrew Tridgell 1994-1997
>Unknown parameter encountered: "bind interface only"
>Ignoring unknown parameter "bind interface only"
--> the WHATSNEW file says that the bind interface only is supported with that
version as you told me
2. When I start another daemon with the second smb.conf file I get a bind
failed - I think it'll try to bind to the same port as the one already running
.....
hm,
just give me a "forget it" and I'll give up - but would be nice to achieve.
thank's

No bother at all ... You would not do it with different ports, but with IP
aliases on the server, or Virtual servers ...

1.  Set up you machine with two IP addresses on the one interface, say:
    10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2.

    Set up two smb.conf file, each specifying an interfaces line with an 
    IP address and a bind interfaces only = yes

    Start up the appropriate daemons and specify their config files on their
    command lines.

2.  Specify a NetBIOS alias in the smb.conf and include files based on 
    the NetBIOS names, giving you virtual servers ...

What you describe is perfect for Virtual Servers ...
