Gads!!!! I hope not..  :-)
You might take a gander at WINS or some other resolution method
outside of NetBeui/NetBIOS. You do _not_ want to be spewing broadcast
garbage outside of your subnet when better, more controlled methods
are available. Setting up a WINS server on each subnet that sync with
each other is much more preferrable.
