Simply to set below and try:

WINSGW
Global section :
    workgroup = WORKGROUP
    wins support = yes
#    remote browse sync = 192.168.53.253
    local master = yes
    domain master = yes
    domain logons = no
    preferred master = yes
    os level = 65

 WINSGW2
Global section :
    workgroup = WORKGROUP
    wins server = 193.168.52.253
#    remote browse sync = 192.168.52.253
#    remote announce = 192.168.52.253/WORKGROUP
    local master = yes
    domain master = no
    domain logons = no
    preferred master = yes
    os level = 65

You do not need to set "remote browse sync" nor "remote announce".

Several years ago I examined this setting against Samba 3.0.x (perlaps
3.0.7) and worked well, although I have not yet examined with Samba
3.5.6.

Remember that you need to configure that Samba server (not Windows)
must be a LMB on each subnet or set DMB as PDC to set "domain logons =
yes".
