[Samba] IP Binding

Hi all,

New to Samba here so please bear with dumb questions.

I have a server that's currently running SMB shares off of device 10.0.0.1
on a private network. It has a second device, 10.0.0.2 that I would like to
add to the device bindings for Samba. I've tried this in the smb.conf file
but it doesn't seem to work. Here's what I tried:

workgroup = SOMECOMPANY
        netbios name = SERVERNAME
        server string = Servername's Samba Server
        interfaces = 10.0.0.1/24 10.0.0.2 127.0.0.1
        bind interfaces only = Yes

That's only part of the config and the names and IP addresses have been
changed. Anyway, this server still only responds to the .1 address and not
the .2 address at all. I would like to pull traffic off of the .1 address
because it's saturated and the .2 isn't used at all.
If anyone has any ideas that would be great! Thanks!

Paul
