This can be done now actually by running multiple Samba instances.

Effectively you could just run one smbd using netbios aliases and then run a separate nmbd instance per name (bound to a specific NIC) and get the exact behavior you are asking for. cheers, jerry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard ------------------------- http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team ---------------------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ---- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "You can never go home again, Oatman, but I guess you can shop there." --John Cusack - "Grosse Point Blank" (1997) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://quantumlab.net/pine_privacy_guard/ iD8DBQE+OEp6IR7qMdg1EfYRArkOAKCdv5zo7TW3m5FOmtPgI7NLbg/u3wCfeh4L ol7002GhDwoT6c/I0OMqFkQ= =I/H+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
