The way to do this is to assign a second address to your NIC,
and bind each instance of Samba to its own address. On Solaris:

# ifconfig hme0 addif 192.168.2.20
Created new logical interface hme0:1
#

In you smb.conf file, set 

        interfaces = 192.168.2.20/24
        bind interfaces only = True

for the second instance, and (assuming hme0's address is 
192.168.1.20) 

        interfaces = 192.168.1.20/24
        bind interfaces only = True

for the first instance of Samba.

Without a second address, you can't run more than one instance
of Samba; it uses specific ports (137-139), and IP address+port+
protocol (TCP/UDP) needs to be unique...
