Web GUI won't let me choose bind address for SMB configuration
Description
I was moving my NAS to a different network. My FreeNAS server had IP 192.168.2.5 and has now 192.168.4.5 insteed. I was not able to make changes in the web GUI, SMB section because it could not find the interface for 192.168.2.5. The drop down menu gave me only a "-" to choose from. Work-around: I was able to save my configuration file and then edit it with hexedit. Searching for ASCII "192.168.2.5" and change it to "192.168.4.5". Repackage my 2 files into a .tar file and then upload my new configuration. Problem solved.

I can see now that with FreeNAS-11.3-U2.1 a bind address do come up in the configuration of SMB service. But I still have one issue with the solution. I have one NIC on my FreeNAS - bge0 with address 192.168.4.5/24. I had to create a bridge interface, bridge0, to get DHCP working with my jails. Bridge0 has address 192.168.4.4/24. Now my issue: the address that I can choose from in the bind drop down menu in SMB configuration is that of the bridge0 interface. I guess that will work, but it fells more right to choose bge0.
