[Samba] get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail

[Bill Szkotnicki]

The message below is appearing in my log file.
I wonder why nmbd thinks it needs to "do a status request"  to that IP 
address?
It is another server here but does not run samba.
I have been trying to make is stop this without any luck so far.
Does anyone know how?
Thanks, Bill
