Thanks Jerry, yes I did read the man page, however it has no indication of
NetBIOS resource types or which correspond to primary or backup domain
controllers.

My lmhosts file now looks like this:

192.168.168.2 MAIL
192.168.168.2 MAIL#1b
192.168.168.2 MAIL#1c
192.168.168.3 NTSERVER
192.168.169.2 CVSERVER
192.168.169.2 CVSERVER#1b
192.168.169.2 CVSERVER#1c

however,

cvserver:/usr/local/samba/lib# nmblookup ntserver
added interface ip=192.168.169.2 bcast=192.168.169.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
querying ntserver on 192.168.169.255
name_query failed to find name ntserver

Thanks YET again,
 Michael Blinn
