|        %L     the NetBIOS name of the server. This allows you  to
|               change  your  config based on what the client calls
|               you. Your server can have a "dual personality".

If you have a multi homed Samba box (even using virtual NICs)
you can use %i to retrive the IP address that the client connected
to.  This should give you the equivalent functionality when not using
Netbios.
