Did you find a way to pull this off?

There are only two things I can think of - 

1. Use the config include function so that Samba loads a diffrent config for
users connecting to that share.  I don't know what criteria you would use to
match that condition however.

2. Create a virtual interface and run a seperate Samba daemon bound to that
interface which exports the share and has it's own password file/backend.
