[Samba] PDC without WINS - performance boost?

I have an unsolved problem with WINS, when i was setting the PDC i
connected it to a lan (DHCP) to update the OS, and when i changed it to
production environment i defined a static IP.
Even after clearing the cache WINS still looks for the old ip to get
browse syncs.
I've seen this issue posted in some threads in the samba mailing list as
well as in other places - NEVER SOLVED!

I would like some feedback, regarding the following:
Disable the wins server from samba and the netbios from client machines
(all XP), install DNS in the PDC. I expect this would reduce network
traffic to increase performance.
Can this be done?


Cheers,
Bruno
