This is not what i meant. More detailed info:

Before adding the new interface:

[root at node4 root]# lsof|grep netbios
smbd      15498    root   19u  IPv4    5425835                 TCP 
a.b.c.hu:netbios-ssn (LISTEN)
nmbd      15503    root    6u  IPv4    5425838                 UDP 
*:netbios-ns
nmbd      15503    root    7u  IPv4    5425839                 UDP 
*:netbios-dgm
nmbd      15503    root    8u  IPv4    5425841                 UDP 
a.b.c.hu:netbios-ns
nmbd      15503    root    9u  IPv4    5425842                 UDP 
a.b.c.hu:netbios-dgm

After adding the new interface and sending SIGHUP to smbd, nmbd:

[root at node4 root]# lsof|grep netbios
smbd      15498    root   19u  IPv4    5425835                 TCP 
a.b.c.hu:netbios-ssn (LISTEN)
nmbd      15503    root    3u  IPv4    7920487                 UDP 
a2.b.c.hu:netbios-ns
nmbd      15503    root    6u  IPv4    5425838                 UDP 
*:netbios-ns
nmbd      15503    root    7u  IPv4    5425839                 UDP 
*:netbios-dgm
nmbd      15503    root    8u  IPv4    5425841                 UDP 
a.b.c.hu.hu:netbios-ns
nmbd      15503    root    9u  IPv4    5425842                 UDP 
a.b.c.hu:netbios-dgm
nmbd      15503    root   16u  IPv4    7920488                 UDP 
a2.b.c.hu:netbios-dgm

So nmbd binded to the new a2.b.c.d interface but smbd did not, though 
it'd re-read smb.conf.
