I have a somewhat similar setup with only a single WINS server:
Samba server WINS server
\ /
\ /
router--------------router-------multiple Winxx desktops
/ 111.111.10.0 111.111.2.0
/
Samba server
Here are relevant settings from smb.confs for the two Samba servers:
[global]
workgroup = MOMENTUM
netbios name = JUPITER
name resolve order = lmhosts wins host bcast
os level = 65
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
wins server = 111.111.2.113
remote announce = 111.111.2.255 111.111.2.113
hosts allow = 111.111.10. 111.111.2.
[global]
workgroup = MOMENTUM
netbios name = PLUTO
name resolve order = lmhosts wins host bcast
local master = No
wins server = 111.111.2.113
remote announce = 111.111.2.255 111.111.2.113
hosts allow = 111.111.10. 111.111.2.
If you're using an NT PDC (I'm not) you probably don't want to use the
same OS level, preferred master, and domain master settings as I have.
I think the correct settings for use in conjunction with an NT PDC would
be: OS level=0, preferred master=no, domain master=no, local
master=yes/no (depending on which subnet PDC is on - 'no' if NT PDC is
on same subnet as Samba server, 'yes' otherwise). An NT PDC by default
acts as a browse master.
