[Samba] Dual interfaced computer...2 addrs for same hostname -- samba doesn't seem to like this?

To support reliability, I have 2 network connections from my win7
client to my home server.
Both the server and the client have 2 **internal** 192.168.3.XXX
addressses...
Doing a reverse DNS lookup, on either of the interfaces will return the
same hostname.
Doing a forward DNS lookup on the hostname will randomly return one or
the other (supposed to
be able to prioritize, but when I do that, I get a message
(rrset-fixed), that the feature was disabled at compile time...)...so
it's doing roundrobin with the 2 addrs..
Seems like samba is alternate denying requests to 1 address, while
serving to the other address.
how can I get it to accept requests from either address and send back to
which ever has the fewest
requests enqueued....but even if it send it back over a different
number, how do I get it to not say permission denied to me half of the time?
Very weird.
