Very very clever, but I doubt it can be done this way. Which workgroup
is nmbd supposed to advertize to other browsers? (Browser == nmbd-like
process, *not* MSIE-like process.)
nmbd could possibly be enhanced to accept "alias/wkgroup" pairs, which
in my opinion would be the clean syntax, but I don't think it's been
done yet.
Meanwhile, I think you're stuck with IP aliases, multiple sets of
processes, and `bind interfaces only = true'. The IP aliases might be
a touch inconvenient to arrange if you are a DHCP client....
