how you make sure packets sent out through one interface don't get their
replies routed through the other.

The machine I inherited had the two nics and when I installed the os
I just let it configure both.  Is it recommended to disable one so
that all traffic stays on one ip to and from the server?

You should not have two or more netcards on one subnet with different IPs,
except you use bonding which gives a virtual "meta-interface" through which
all the samba packets will be sent.
I would be interested in the output of ifconfig on that box.

I found a clear HowTo on bonding and will give it a try. Here's the ifconfig output as it stands now:
