nmbd broadcast bindable ( samba on win2k(!))

Hello, could we make nmbd broadcast stuff bindable via a config option?
I'm doing a pretty weird thing, i'm running nmbd on win2k (in cygwin), just
to get browsing to work across subnets.
The reason why is simple :)
I'm not allowed to change operating system to something else than win2k, and
i can't add another box (too expensive because it's a GBit network
(box+card+port = mucho dineros).
I have two subnets:
10.10.10.0/255.255.255.0 = 100mbit, 10.10.10.3 is the domain controller
(samba on linux).
10.10.11.0/255.255.255.0 = 1gbit, 10.10.11.202<->10.10.10.201 is the
gateway.
So i just aliased the network card to add a 10.10.11.203 so we have a nice,
fresh IP for our little nmbd to bind to.
Everything works, except that the nmbd brodcast stuff tries to bind to <any>
addr, failing miserably ofcourse -both the 10.10.10.201 and 10.10.11.202 are
taken by win2k itself.
Well i just did a quickfix, binding the ip:s to 10.10.11.203, and everything
works like a charm (see quickfix attached :)).
Some other troubles compiling in cygwin:
1) File locking doesn't work (i enabled --with-spinlocks + disabled the
check :)).
2) tdb spews errors from time to time ( tdb_oob len -3880 beyond eof,
tdb_free: left read failed) could be because of 1).
3) Some other small compile/link issues regarding initgroups and friends,
and nanosleep.
I didn't even try to compile smbd or other stuff.
Funny that it works, but i'd like to bind that stuff via a config option,
please ! :)
