AW: nmbd & netbios name -> many addreses

[Martin Kuhne]

Can I have a netmon trace of the NT box not connecting to a multihomed
server? 
(Sorry, I don't have the start of this thread)

I know, and I don't have an explanation for Peter's problem. I was
merely commenting that (like VisionFS) we sort the IPs by number of
common leading bits.

For Peter's problem what needs to be done is to setup a multi-homed NT
client and a NT WINS server (which can be single-homed) then to see if
the problem still happens. If it doesn't then you need to stare very
carefully at Samba vs NT WINS traces and see what's different. We
(ie. Jeremy!) tried to make it behave the same, but we may have missed
a bit :)
