Would it be possible to put code in say, smbclient or nmbd that would do something like this:
%smbclient -L //nosuchwinsname ......(5 seconds)...... No quick response; there are NO WINS servers on this subnet, see wins.txt <continue>
Perhaps make it a nmblookup option... maybe I'll hack something together this weekend.
