[Samba] WINS and isolating groups

I have a feeling that option is to do with connecting multiple WINS
servers together.

Given that Windows hosts also communicate via broadcasts, I think the
only way to do this would be to put each company on a different
subnet.  I don't know whether this means you have to run a different
instance of Samba for each subnet or whether one server can work across
all subnets, but I think a subnet division is the only way to stop the
broadcasts from working (and thus you won't need a WINS server at all.)

Cheers,
Adam.
