samba - Oct 1999 - WINS replication with MS

Hi ppl,

Are there any plans to implement WINS replication with MS NT?
Our sister company who are running NT want to replicate with us who are running
samba, which
basically means we'll have to install an NT server just for the job.

Also it would be useful when using the 'dns proxy' to be able to specify
which domain on the server
is used as the default, i.e. if /etc/resolv.conf contains:

search domain.com sub.domain.com
nameserver 0.0.0.0

then any host not found in the wins database will be looked up in domain.com and
then
sub.domain.com.
Rather than reversing these (which is not possible for other reasons) can samba
be told which
domain to use?

Thanks,

Mark.

Some of the developers have looked into it. Report your 
question to the samba-technical@samba.org list and you'll 
probably get  a better answer than from here.
