The problem though is that you won't necessarily have credentials for
random_server_X that WINE wants to talk to.

That's sort of my point. The current CIFS-based solution sort of
requires that you have some way to know ahead of time what hosts you're
going to talk to, and that's not necessarily the case with apps that run
under WINE.
