I believe the problem with that is that if the first DNS server
returns that the address is not found the windows dns client does not
try other DNS servers.

Also, when you say "My samba 3 servers are

That would not work either. Basically my non approved linux boxes are
not permitted to have any connection to the Internet. NAT or proxy is
certainly out.
