I've never used it, but I think you should be able to do that under the HOSTS options in SMB for the share (and NFS, if you use that).

So as long as the two VLANS carry traffic on different subnets (as they normally would), this ought to work.

There is a related conversation of the proper format for a subnet specification. That is specific to NFS, but likely applies to SMB too. The answer could possibly be different for OS-6 than it is for 4.2.x firmware.
