[Samba] Cross-subnet browsing with LMBs + remote browse sync + samba4WINS

[Daniel Müller]

NO, you do not need remote browse sync if you have samba4wins working.
And you need only following to make it work in your LMB smb.conf
wins server = your.samba4wins.host
If your smaba4wins is on the same host as your LMB, put this is your
samba4wins
Samba4wins.conf:
bind interfaces only=yes
interfaces=your.samba4wins.ip (suggestion use a virt ip not used by samba)
ntpd:disable_broadcast=yes
wins server=your.samba4wins.ip

In your windows clients network configuration  set wins1 your first
samba4wins and wins2 the second samba4wins.

As far as I examined, "remote browse sync" did not work as I expected.
Sample smb.conf that I examined the behavior is:

-----
[global]
  workgroup = SAMBAxx
  domain master = yes
  wins support = yes
  remote browse sync = x.x.x.x
-----

Samba has to be WINS server and DMB.
