It don't seem to be the problem with duplicate entries. Problem stays after 
removing them, additionally client don't send any packets to connect to the 
domain. All it does is 6 times broadcast the name query request, on 1st of it 
domain replies "I don't know such name".

Here's packets sniffed with Eherereal:

1) Source: 192.168.209.5(Client) Dest: 192.168.209.130(Domain) Type: NetBios 
Name Service name query. Content: Name: DOMAIN<1c> (Domain Controllers).
2) Source: 192.168.209.130 Dest: 192.168.209.5 Type: NetBios Name Service 
Answer. Content: Name DOMAIN<1c> unknown.
3,4,5,6,7) Source: 192.168.209.5 Dest: 192.168.209.130 Content: as 1st with 
different broadcast flags.

I have some thoughts about situation: 
1) In 1st packet there is "Domain controllers" flag. Seems smbd(or nmbd) 
ignores query with this flag. After all, name lookup for file sharing works 
fine.
2) Mysterious <1c> after name. In file sharing name query Name=DOMAIN<00>
