Why only one WINS server?

Hello,

Documentation states that one should set up only one Samba server as WINS server.

While NT's TCP/IP setup has two entrys, one for a primary and one for a secondary WINS server I wonder why there 
should be only one Samba WINS server.

Has anyone tried this with two Samba WINS servers? Did you suffer from any interferences.

I did and the machines are running perfectly smooth. Did I miss something? 

What is the background behind the restriction in the docs?

Regards,
        Robert
