I remember that there is an option to include selective config files 
based on conditions - it's been some time since my last samba 
installation (a complex one) but it looked something like this

include /etc/samba/<hostname>.cfg

It's just of the to of my head, but You should get the idea, in the 
example above, if a host with certain <hostname> was connecting to samba 
server, a specific file was included.
Unfortunatelly I don't remeber exact syntax, and tons of other things - 
I just suggest looking in this direction
