[Samba] Cross subnet browsing

I'm having a hard time figuring this one out.  I've done this before 
when I had a PDC on one end of the VPN, and a BDC on the other.  This is 
what my setup looks like now.

       Clients(XP)
             |
PDC(192.168.0.4), windows 2000
             |
             |
WINS Server Samba(192.168.0.1), also the gateway for this network
             |
             |
       Internet
             |
             |
WINS Server Samba(192.168.2.1), also the gateway for this network
             |
             |

With this setup I'm not sure how I'm suppose to setup each wins server.  
Do I need to have one on each subnet, and then have them both remote 
announce and remote browse sync to each other?   Or maybe some like 
that?  When I'm using remote announce, should it be 192.168.0.1 or 
192.168.0.0 or 192.168.0.255?  Same with remote browse sync, does it 
need to be the actual address of the other wins server?  or do I just 
send it to that subnet?  Does anyone have a working configuration with 
this setup(Domain on one side of the tunnel and just a workgroup on the 
other, both are the same workgroup).   All the machines can ping each 
others ip, so I know its not a tunnel issue.  Thanks for your guys help.
