Here some tips which might help you further :


- you must start twice the daemons, but under different names (say, you'd make 
a copy of smbd and call them smbd1 and smbd2)
- those copies should also use different smb.conf files, in which you would 
define different interfaces and bind interface only parameters
- also define different pids and different log directories in those two 
smb.conf
- also, you need two different IP adresses, which you may use IP aliases

It's just an idea, but it might help

Kind regards,
Gerd
