Yes, but if it resorts to a broadcast it may do it on any one of the
interfaces not necessarily the correct one. It is much cleaner to me to
only leave NetBIOS to a single interface unless you want to make very sure
that your machines never resort to broadcasts. It would be nice to see a
clear explanation of how to prevent MS machines from ever doing broadcasts
without setting-up a WINS server on every segment of a network. How about
it? Why do I always have to put a drop all NetBIOS broadcasts and don't log
rule at the top of my firewall policies?
