Samba and DNS, the relation?

We recently experienced "loss of service" with our Internet provider and as
a result none of our PC's could log-on to Samba Shares. As soon as the
service was restored all was well.

Questions: 
	Is DNS necessary to run samba?
	If not, how should naming be setup?
	Do all of the clients need forward and reverse entries?

	I guess what I am asking is there a definitive way to setup naming for
local operation?
         I have the Blair book in front of me now, Hhhhmmmm.........

Many thanks in advance.
