It keeps sending the authentication request to one server for some time, and then it switches to the next in the list, till it reaches the last one. And after it reaches the last server in the list, it does not come back to the first one, which I would assume, it should do the iteration in a round robin fashion. 

WINS is a name service so I don't know what you mean by authentication
requests. Also, alternate WINS servers are not used unless the current
one is not responding.

The domainController specifies a particular machine so I don't know what
you mean by "it just picks up one of the servers". Also, if you're using
the domainContoller property you do not need jcifs.netbios.wins.

This means that it just timed out trying to communicate with the domain
controller. That's not good. Looks like a netork problem or the machine
is overloaded. Try increasing timeouts.
