Residence Hall Access

We are currently using a Samba server to provide access to 
both HOME and PUBLIC directories to all clients of public 
labs.  

However, this Fall, once we permit access from Residence 
Halls, we will want to permit full access to home 
directories from Residence Halls, but NO access to PUBLIC, 
or possibly more limited access. 

I see that it is possible to control access to filespace 
services by IP address, so that should permit us to allow 
or deny access by IP address to PUBLIC.  Is there any way 
to control access to a sub-tree structure within PUBLIC - 
eg. permitting full campus access to courseware and 
freeware but restricting access to the commercial library 
by IP or subnet?  Or, will we need to create separate 
FREEWARE and COMMERCIAL shares with different "allow hosts 
= ..."
