If you can bind to 2 different IP address, you can.
Don't share the same filesystems if possible, or if you do understand
that you may have some data corruption in some corner cases if 2 clients
connected to the 2 different instances use the same file as the 2 samba
servers will not coordinate locking/share modes/etc ...
Make sure you have kernel oplocks.
