interfaces belongs to the interfaces on your server. (similar meaning of 
"ip address of the network card")
hosts allow and hosts deny belongs to the client interfaces...
also look at "bind interfaces only".

we're working on a network with more than one ip address in the same 
segment, additionally our machines (even the clients) have more than one 
ip address in different segments. (this is nessecary because of costumer 
wks's)

e.g.
server has X.X.10.1 (eth0) X.X.10.254 (eth0:1) and X.X.30.1 (eth0:2)
the notebook has X.X.10.198(lan) X.X.30.198(wireless)

the configuration in this case means (the whole ..10 and ..30 has access)

interfaces = X.X.10.1 X.X.30.1
hosts allow = X.X.10 X.X.30
bind interfaces only = yes ##attention - no answer on localhost...

we're using only a nameserver. the nameserver has configured forward and 
reverse lookup zones.
we have no problems with samba 2.2.8a

i'm doing hard to understand your question exact, so i hope i'd gave u 
the right answer.
