That's (nearly) what I have done now: I have 3 subnets, each with a
different workgroup, connected together with one router. I configured
one samba server in each subnet and on samba server (including WINS)
on the router. All clients (and the 3 samba servers) point to
the WINS server for name resolution. It works great!
However, since I found some messages in log.nmb saying something
about "sync session rejected" (or similar), I removed the
"remote browse sync" option and it still works perfectly.
Thanks to all who replied,
