For subnetbrowsing across subnets you will need a LMB and DMB for each 
subnet. In my case, a samba server serves this pupose. furthermore each 
samba server needs 2 more directives in smb.conf

remote announce = remote_ip_of_dmb/local_workgroup
remote browse sync = remote_ip_of_dmb

I have tried to use on of the samba servers as a wins server, but this 
caused trouble whith browsing, so our w2kserver is offering the wins 
service.
