Are this three subnets on the same physical network (ethernet)? If so,
just assign on the Samba server an additional IP addresses on the
ethernet interface for each subnet (eg. a.b.52.? and a.b.79.?). I don't
know how to do it in linux, on FreeBSD this is called an alias IP.

Or are there switches in between? If so, place on every NT workstation
the file c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts with the content (there
is also a lmhost.sam file there, check it out):

a.b.53.241	NETBIOSNAME	#PRE #DOM:NTDOMAIN

replace NETBIOSNAME with the name of the Samba server, and replace
NTDOMAIN with the NT domain Samba is running. This will tell the
workstation a servername and that this is a Domain Controller, so the
station will ask this one for logon.
