Hi! I was doing some tests with a samba 3.0.2a server set up to be a wins server and to do dns proxy, and I have found that when you queried nmbd for a name ahta was not on wins db or found on DNS, the negative response is cached either for a really long time or forever, in such a way that even though you add the name to the DNS, you won't get a positive answer out of nmbd anymore.
I have tried solving this by lowering the minimum ttl in my soa as well as soa's ttl, and also using the option "name cache timeout" of samba, setting it to 0 (no cache) and to low values, but I haven't been lucky with any of these. Is this supposed to be like that? Does anybody have any idea on how to solve this issue? If this seems a problem and you need more info to try to diagnose it, don0t hesitate to ask.
