This probably isn't quite what you want but you can configure 4 different 
hosts, 
each with one of the shares, and then use the $Conf{ClientNameAlias} option to 
point three of them back to the real host.  Normally you'd use this only if you 
wanted different scheduling or options on the shares but it should permit 
concurrency too.
