Ok!

I'm using nmblookup to find MBs from 
server host that has some of LAN segments.

If i want to search MB for none existent group
nmblookup searches on all segments.

--------------------------------------
querying ITT on 172.16.11.255
querying ITT on 172.16.12.255
querying ITT on 172.16.13.255
querying ITT on 172.16.15.255
querying ITT on 172.16.16.255
name_query failed to find name ITT
--------------------------------------

if searched group exists nmblookup 
searching process stops after first 
found MB host for the group.

I think this is a nmblookup bug.
