samba - Jan 1999 - 2 virtual servers?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hello!

Probably a stupid question, but...

Is it possible to run Samba (2.0.0beta5 or any other version) in 2
completely independent identities on a single machine with 2 virtual
ip interfaces? As I understand it you can not run 2 nmbd's, because
broadcast packets are only delivered to one of the 2 udp sockets bound
to 0.0.0.0:137. If I use the 'netbios aliases', then nmbd reports both
aliases under a single IP address.

Thanks,

Volker

Works fine if you use the "socket address" option, diffrent addresses
for
each server. We're currently using such configuration in our HA-clusters.
