Wins would be a better solution here than remote browse sync and remote
browse announce.  This would work ok in conjunction with WINS, but I'm
not seeing any relevant parameters related to WINS.  With my solution, I
just setup one central WINS server for everyone to query and advertise
to, and browsing just magically works :).
