You only need 1 WINS server for your organization (or 2 for redundancy). We
have multiple subnets here at OSU and only 2 WINS servers. Our DHCP
servers had out the WINS server IP addresses to all clients, and Samba is
configured to use them as well. You DO need a master browser on each
subnet.
Are you pointing your clients on a given subnet to the "local master" for
WINS queries or the primary WINS server?
I have a couple subnets, but hand out the Primary WINS ip to ALL of my
clients. WINS browsing across the subnets fine, but updates from the subnets
tend to be really slow.
All clients are given the IP addresses of the 2 WINS servers. We don't
configure local master browsers explicitly on our subnets - the Windows
computers can elect a local master for themselves automatically.
