If the internet and the local network are on different interfaces, and
the firewall rules don't allow remote connections to the local network
interface, and samba's just listening on the local interface, the
additional risk might be small enough (depending on what you estimate
the costs of a break in to be) to justify not shelling out for a
second machine.....
