Your setup is allmost identical to mine.  Here's how I do it.

          WIN95 <Clients>
            |
         ------------------------------------- subnet A (10.1.1.0),
Workgroup=W2WENGR
            | (10.1.1.1)
         Samba Server A
            | (10.1.2.2)
         ------------------------------------- subnet B (10.1.2.0),
Workgroup=TECSTAR
            | (10.1.2.1)             |
         Samba Server B           WIN95 <Clients>
