[Samba] Samba spanning subnets

[Ben Hall]

Hello,

I am in the process of trying to get a large network (300+ systems) spanning
3 subnets to be able to display all windows machines in the Network
Neighborhood.  After reading through copious amounts of documentation, using
Samba as a domain controller and then having systems on each subnet seemed
to be the best approach.

I set one of the machines to be the domain controller for what was my
workgroup, and while all of my systems are visible to everyone on the
network, the browse lists for the rest of the network are still limited to
whatever subnet the client machine is on.

At this point it looks as though I would have to set up a domain controller
for each of the 20+ workgroups.  Of course this is infeasible.  Am I missing
something?  

A few machines are set up to use and proxy WINS, one of my systems is acting
as the WINS server, this has had no noticeable effect on the network.

Just to make things interesting, my network consists of just about every
version of Windows since 95, MacOS from version 7 to 10.2, Sun Solaris 8 and
the odd Linux machine.


Any help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Ben
