I think what I have done in the past for this is to put a list of wins servers - 1 for each subnet in each windows client and this can be done fairly simply with dhcp. Of course, you could skip wins and just use ddns to register the dhcp leases and resolve everything with dns and forget about wins but that is more work.

The broadcast address is what you want, I think. But really, you want a shared wins server, and a samba server on each subnet (which will ensure that browsing works well) I have 4 sites across WAN, each has its own NT/Samba domain and each has its own wins server. 1. If I put PDC as the remote target, it works for samba (will it works on NT pdc too? 2. If wins is installed on same machine as BDC, so it doesn't serve as MDB. Can I use this as remote target? 3. Broadcast address did not works (I already wait for 48 but never appears, with remote PDC it appears within less than 1 hour). 4. Can I use above parameter on many server in local site? Second is how do I tell samba to find the DC for other site? Im trying to create trust but always get same error, even the PDC of remote target are already in dns and lmhost.
