[Samba] Samba across multiple subnets

[zhia chandra]

hi marc

i have same issue with it, i have samba 4 AD installation in my network 
for about 40 windows (xp,7 and 8) client
since last month i have about 3 incident when windows client cant access 
other client, when i check, it happen because the master browser is not 
direct to the PDC / samba 4 AD server, so the master browser keep moving 
among all pc client in the network, is there any workarroud / solution 
for this case ?
