Okay, well samba isn't syncing browse lists anymore:

[2003/03/04 09:30:27, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:domain_master_node_status_fail(262)
  domain_master_node_status_fail:
  Doing a node status request to the domain master browser
  for workgroup [DOMAIN_NAME] at IP [PDC/WINS Server IP] failed.
  Cannot sync browser lists.

Yup, routing is okay, and winbind domain authentication works to the
Same pdc.  The interface is defined in smb.conf.  Smbd/nmbd is started
after the network, so that shouldn't be the problem, and restarting it
does not help.
