I've dealt with this over a VPN 2 different ways.  First was to set a 
Samba WINS server as master and have the various remote offices samba 
servers forward to that.  It was a bit glitchy but it worked.  In 
smb.conf I had this:

        wins server = 192.168.61.1 192.168.62.1 192.168.62.2
        remote announce = 192.168.62.2/FSK 192.168.62.1/FSK 192.168.61.1/FSK
#       remote browse sync = 192.168.61.1 192.168.62.1 192.168.62.2  

My biggest problem was WinXP machines in the W2K domain (I have a Samba 
and W2K domain).  So I switched WINS to my W2K servers and turned off 
WINS server for the samba machines.  That's why the browse sync line is 
commenmted out.  The trust between the domains is now quite stable and I 
have few problems.  If you don't have a W2K domain your Samba servers 
should have no problem if you set those three lines properly for your 
network.
