Issues with Samba 2.0.6 and Running a second smbd/nmbd setup

Could someone please walk me through what it takes to set up a second Samba server configuration.  The original configuration is having a few issues but for the most part is working for logins and file serving (a small win 2000 machine, if there is such a thing, has taken over the print serving due to issues) however I'd like to split off a seperate subnet for some people and would like them to have a seperate connection.  I think I'm going to need VERY specific instructions, including instructions on how to build an init.d startup script so that I can control starting and stopping the service.  I realize that doing a killall and just running the processes can do the job, but scripts are so much cleaner and with the concept of running a second "server" it will make it easier to control which processes are stopped and which aren't.  I have Samba installed from the RedHat RPM and have the source code downloaded to compile so whichever way is easier, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for the help.
