[Samba] Help with multiple subnets

[Dani Camps]

I already have all the clients using a WINS server.
But if the WINS server is in the gateway machine that
has one interface in each subnet (192.168.0.1 and
192.168.1.1), the WINS server for the clients in each
subnet must be the gateway of that subnet or it
doesn't matter ? I mean is there any problem if the
clients in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet have the WINS
server pointing at 192.168.0.1 ? 

I guess that no, just trying to find out what might be
failing.

Thanks
