Yes. See jcifs/smb/AndXServerMessageBlock.java:234

If there is a communications failure with the current WINS server and more
than one was specified the list index is incremented modulo the number of
ips specified. That's all. So if a negative name query response is
successfully returned by the current WINS server, an alternate server will
NOT be queried.
