As an extension to this, does anyone have thoughts of how to stop diald / samba /
named looking for the wogroup name as a DNS query.
I've seen this on a couple of sites where the diald server is also a samba server
for a group, and there is also another group on the (private IP) net. Occasionally
named will put out requests for the other group name. Seems that this is a
difficult one - its not a netbios-ns request, and is a valid domain request. Seems
that there is nowhere in that group of tools to trap it and stop the dial out.
Still seems to occur even if samba is not using dns-proxy which implies that one of
the PC's is asking the question.
Thoughts appreciated.
