Thanks.

I have added following lines in the [global] section of smb.conf:

         interfaces = fxp0, rl0, lo0
         bind interfaces only = Yes
         hosts allow = 123.45.67.89/28, 10.0.0.0/24, 127.0.0.1
         hosts deny = ALL

Is that what you are talking about?
rl0 interface is connected to the 10.0.0.0/24 inner-network and
fxp0 is connected to the outer-network with gateway 123.45.67.1.
(I use real IP addresses instead of 123.45.67.89, of course).
