hi,
a wins replicate daemon has been released by sernet the german host of 
samba, catch it there compile and test ( it worked for me with suse 10 )
but if you use openvpn with a direct vpn tap connect between 2 sambas 
only the right configs where needed in my setup,
you can start samba with tap devices so they should find each with 
broadcast on the same net or with pointing browsing entries
in smb.conf to oneanother
for sure this connect where long times vpn connects
Regards
