WINS-server and push/pull

[DavidAtkinson at solectron.com]

I may be a little behind, but I don't think that this has been implemented
yet. The closest you can do is to have one samba box as a WINS client and a
second one as a WINS server and have both doing WINS proxying, so that they
share the information via broadcasts. This is, however, cludgy, but it does
work. Unfortunatly the best solution is to have multiple Winblows WINS
servers or a single linux box (which makes maintenance tricky)

Hi all

Can I set up a linux-box to be a wins-server within a domain and then
tell it to sync with other NT-based wins-servers that already exist in
the domain ?
I cannot find anything on that.
