[Samba] smb access through cipe tunnel

[Sven Broeckling]

Hi,

during the past weeks i tried to set up a network through a cipe tunnel, 
building a vpn to some road warriers. With few words, the tunnel is 
etablished, and at the tcp/ip level everything works fine.

NET A : 192.168.0.0/26
NET B : 192.168.102.0/26
trans-net : 192.168.101.0/26

in ascii-art, it looks like this:

eth0:192.168.0.5
     +-----------+ cipcb0:192.168.101.1             +----------+ eth0:
     | router A  | ------>>--------------->>------- | router B | 192.168.
     +-----------+             cipcb0:192.168.101.2 +----------+    102.1


router B holds a Samba Domain, and theres another smb pdc at 
192.168.0.1. Both are DMB for their Domains. The Clients log on to their 
Domains.

This is the point where my problem begins. Due to i don't want to pass 
broadcasts through the tunnel, the lookup of Names doesn't really seem 
to work. I tried the following :

PDC A (192.168.0.1)
   remote announce = 192.168.102.1
   remote browse sync = 192.168.102.1

PDC B (192.168.102.1)
   remote browse sync = 192.168.0.1
   remote announce = 192.168.0.1

but all i get is this : (log.nmbd)

[2003/07/11 17:15:01, 2] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:sync_with_dmb(158)
   sync_with_dmb:
   Initiating sync with domain master browser DEEPSPACE1<20> at IP 
192.168.102.1 for workgroup DOMAINB
[2003/07/11 17:30:10, 2]

[2003/07/11 17:30:10, 2] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:sync_with_dmb(158)
   sync_with_dmb:
   Initiating sync with domain master browser DEEPSPACE1<20> at IP 
192.168.102.1 for workgroup DOMAINB
[2003/07/11 17:45:15, 2] 
nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:announce_local_master_browser_to_domain_master_browser(119)
[2003/07/11 17:45:15, 2] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:sync_with_dmb(158)
   sync_with_dmb:
   Initiating sync with domain master browser DEEPSPACE1<20> at IP 
192.168.102.1 for workgroup DOMAINB


So it seems that samba announces to the wrong pdc. My workaround is to 
let samba lookup Names against dns (which works correct) :

dns proxy = yes



May it be that i missunderstood the samba documentation? My entries for 
remote announce seem correct...
Any Hints? Maybe a complete different solution?

TIA
   Sven
