Yep, but it's not very clear and your above example doesn't do it here. I've
read the Q119495 article as well for these names.

For example...your query
# nmblookup -U 10.0.10.9 -R "gwebster#3"
querying gwebster on 10.0.10.9
wins_srv_died(): Could not mark WINS server 10.0.10.9 down.
Address not found in server list.
name_query failed to find name gwebster#03

While the following does give the opposite info:
# nmblookup -U 10.0.10.9 -A 10.0.29.33
Looking up status of 10.0.29.33
