Hi. Some of my friends like to drag their computers to my place for LAN parties sometimes and I've set up a DHCP server on my Linux gateway for easy configuration. When someone sets up a game server on their computer, we still have to resort to broadcasting via the voice-over-air protocol to get the IP to everyone. Today I set up a WINS server with Samba on my Linux gateway and all of my Windows-running computers now belong to the same Samba-managed workgroup and can resolve by name.
The problem is that my non-Windows-running computers would also like the ability to resolve NetBIOS names to IPs. Is there a DNS server out there that can resolve via Samba's WINS server first and if it's not found, resort to acting as a normal caching nameserver or simply route the request to some other name servers? Basically, what I'm looking for is a DNS-to-WINS/DNS proxy. Does such a thing exist?
