As far as I know multiple wins support was added in version 0.9. I tested 
it also with version 1.2.7 and got the same error.
I debugged jcifs.Config.getInetAddressArray function and found that wins IP 
address is retrieved from token with backslash at the end:
for example:

String addr = tok.nextToken();

returns address below:

10.174.8.101\

Then function: 

arr[i] = InetAddress.getByName( addr ); 

is called with IP address with backslash as an argument and returns: 
java.net.UnknownHostException: 10.174.8.101\: 10.174.8.101\

I modified jcifs.Config.getInetAddressArray function and made it remove 
backslash from IP address and it works. 
But still I don’t know why IP address is retrieved with backslash at the end. 
My jcifs.netbios.wins property is set to 10.174.8.101,10.174.8.102. But 
according to log files from application server:

jcifs.netbios.wins=10.174.8.101\\,10.174.8.102
and
file.separator=\\ 

So I think that application server modifies Wins IP address before it is sent 
to jcifs. 

Do you have any other ideas how to handle with this problem?
