Yes, it scans the entire DHCP address range.
However, this is really an old feature since hosts can be usually
looked up via nmb or dns. You only need to scan a pool of IP
addresses if
nmblookup -A w.x.y.z
works, but
nmblookup -B w.x.y.255 hostName
does not. There might be cases (eg: with a firewall) that
prevent the second (broadcast) version from working. I'm
tempted to drop this feature since I suspect it isn't really
necessary.
