As you would understand, WINS server implementation of Samba lacks the
function of replication, which means no redundancy.
Unfortunately, there is no smart way to resolve that:
1) using samba4wins or WINS server on Windows server
which can replicate their WINS database to each other.
2) using LMHOSTS file
3) using one of some hand-made replication solutions:
I know 2 solutions in Japan. Both use "wins hook" parameter.

If you are interested in them, I will translate them in English.
