[Samba] Dual-homed weirdness

I've got a setup where there's a Samba server, acting as a PDC, with  
two interfaces - 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.2.10.  I've got the  
following stanza in the smb.conf to have it only listen on the .1  
interface:

bind interfaces only = true
interfaces = 192.168.1.10 127.0.0.1

The setup is working well for most users - they can auth to the PDC,  
mount shares, and their roaming profile works.

However, a few users have XP Pro workstations that are themselves  
dual-homed.  For those users, they can authenticate properly to the  
PDC, but when it comes time to mount their profile, they get an error  
about Windows not being able to find their profile, so they have to  
use a local one.  They also can't directly mount any shares on the  
server with the \\NETBIOS_NAME\ calls.

If these users pull their plug on the .2 network, it works fine.  So  
does anyone have any suggestions for things we can do, either on the  
client, samba, or DHCP end, to work around this problem?

Thanks,
Wade
