Just add 'netbios aliases = <second-name>' to your smb.conf.
Or put an appropriate cname into your dns, depending on how
your clients resolve their names.

If you want different shares on each server, you might want
to add

smb ports = 139
include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%L

to your smb.conf. You would add the shares for serverone to
the file /etc/samba/smb.conf.serverone and for servertwo
likewise to /etc/samba/smb.conf.servertwo.
