Probably not.

For exampie in source/nmbd/nmbd_winsserver.c:1388
    /*
     * If the name has expired then reply name not found.
     */

    if( (namerec->data.death_time != PERMANENT_TTL)
     && (namerec->data.death_time < p->timestamp) )

So it seems that specifying permanent TTL ( means 0) will avoid the
expiranation.
