What is the reason behind this question?


Theroretically it should be possible: Configure a NIC alias (second IP
on your NIC), then provision Samba as a DC and bind it to the first IP
of the NIC.

Then create a second smb.conf with pathes for state|cache|lock dir,
different 'netbios name' and bind this install to the second IP of the
NIC. Start this instance with 'smbd -s /path/to/second/smb.conf' (+same
for winbind|nmbd).
