samba - Oct 1997 - Domain master browser for 2 workgroups?

Hi,

BROWSING.txt states:

"In an WORKGROUP environment the domain master browser must be a
Samba server, and there must only be one domain master browser per
workgroup name (although the same Samba server can act as Domain
master browser for multiple workgroup names)."

Does anyone know how can I have the same Samba server acting as
domain master browser for 2 or more workgroup names?

I thought that by setting "domain master = yes" Samba will be
the domain master for the workgroup it belongs to only.

Thanks,

E.-

not possible on the same ip address.

you will need to run two (or more) samba servers on different ip 
addresses, and use the "socket address" option.

someone kindly posted their smb.conf files to the list about two months 
ago having achieved exactly this.  check the digest archives.
