	It's probbaly easier to rename a .conf file to make the
	server that's running start serving the additional tree.

	As the windows clients predominantly use  WINS names
	rather than DNS names adresses, it's also necessary
	to have the names linked in some reasonable way to
	the dynamic IP address.
