if this is the case then it _may_ be that if a broadcast-lookup is being
performed that _only_ one ip address should be returned.  this is
_nothing_ to do with samba-as-a-wins-server it is
samba-as-a-wins-client-claiming-and-defending-netbios-names-even-though-it-may-be-sending-those-names-on-loopback-to-another-part-of-nmbd-which-is-acting-as-a-wins-server.
