[Samba] Re: SAMBA on the WAN

[Paul Gienger]

We run a pretty standard samba 2.2.7 PDC setup at each site.  Each one 
has it's own samba server doing duty for that office.  We also have a 
local DNS server for each site running their own subdomain for that 
office.

Everything is subnetted in the 10.x.x.x private address space with /16 
masks.  That's what we use to keep the broadcast traffic down.  As I 
said before, you have to explicitly go looking for anything on the other 
side of the wan by its FQDN.

It's not pretty but it works.
