[Samba] DNS Proxy - WINS problem - please help

[Terry Davis]

Here is my scenario when a client wants to resolve a name on my local
network:

CLIENT --> VPN --> SAMBA --> DNS

The client is set up like so:
DNS1 = ISP DNS1 (204.26.64.1)
DNS2 = ISP DNS2 (204.26.80.3)
WINS1 = my samba1 (10.10.1.5)
WINS2 = my samba2 (10.10.1.8)

This all _seemed_ to have worked 3 days ago for roughly 6 months but
stopped suddenly without me doing anything.

When the client requests a name on my local network like atlas
(10.10.1.8), there is no resolution at all.

My first reaction was there was a firewall change or something, but that
is not the case.


1) How can I see if requests are getting to the samba server for dns
queries?

2) Is my thinking correct about DNS proxy?


Here is the relevant parts of my smb.conf:

wins support = yes
wins proxy = no
dns proxy = yes

Thank you for your help!
