[Samba] Bringing up interface causes smbd to become unresponsive on that subnet

[Tony Markel]

This is a strange problem I can't seem to wrap my head around.

I have a server with 2 interfaces.  Samba is serving happily on one, and
will remain on a single interface (eth0,  subnet A(/22), vlan 101).  I wish
to bring up a second interface (eth1, subnet B(/24), vlan 102) that will be
serving up nfs and ssh traffic only.  Currently, Samba will process
requests from any computer on the public internet.

Now, before I bring up the second interface on subnet B, I modify my
smb.conf to bind to eth0, and I speficy the netmasks of subnet A and B.

The problem is this:
When I bring up eth1, subnet B cannot access the service.  When I take it
down, normal service resumes.

Here's the relevant sections of smb.conf taken from the command testparm:
