I would assume that he has a wins server on each side of the router? He should be able to forward traffic from and to those servers, so that they get all of the information that they need, although I'm not sure this is needed. I found a resource today, which isn't masq related, but may help answer this question. http://www.itlibrary.com/reference/library/0672309335/index.htm This is an online book called NT Server Unleashed, and it's our primary NT resource at work. Look for information on having domains span subnets, and things of that nature, I don't remember exaxtly where I found it.
