I assume (it has always been this way, as far as I know) that its too
much effort to calculate the subnet, so its just easier to just list the
interface the request came in on.  (Its like that all over nmbd - see
the rest of the logs).

Also note if you get crazy names being looked up its probably just Win9X
doing WINS before DNS in its 'gethostbyname' (or equiv.).

Hope this helps
