+ <p>Samba Team member Tim Potter has written an article on using Samba
+ with multiple network interfaces. The piece is a nice write up on how
+ to set smb.conf parameters for multi-interface servers. From the
+ introduction:</p>
+
+ <blockquote>Let's assume that we have a server with two network
+ interfaces. Say that one interface, eth0 connects to the company
+ network 10.0.0.0/8, and eth1 connects to 192.168.1.0/24, a small private
+ network within the company. For one reason or another, we want shares
+ exported by Samba to be available on the private network eth1, but not
+ visible to the rest of the organisation via eth0. The machine in
+ question may be a firewall, gateway or plays some other sensitive role.
+ In other configurations, you might want to avoid SMB connections over
+ your PPP or wireless connection, for performance reasons.</blockquote>
