samba - Nov 2009 - Cannot browse the network on a multiple vlan configuration.

Hello everyone.
I'm trying to set a up a wins and a browser on my residential student
network.
The network and my current configuration is as follow:


#Network

Each vlan is under a different subnet 10.x.y.0/24. No one can broadcast anything
across vlans but any ip can connect to any other ip using its vlan gateway
(10.x.y.254).
In each vlan there can be any OS, but 95% of them only contains Windows
Computers (XP, Vista, Seven). The wins server is set to every computer using
DHCP.
Name resolution is working fine.

My problem is that I want the samba server in "Server VLAN" to be the
master browser, so that it serves a list of every computer on the network that
anyone could see using "list workgroup computers" on windowses or
"smbtree" on linuxes.
All the computers are interogating this server to get that list (I added entries
to browse.dat to be sure), but they can only see the computers inside the Server
VLAN.

I read in BROWSING.txt that there should be elections on all the subnets to find
the local master, and that the winner is then supposed to share its list with
the domain browser, but I don't see that happening.
When a windows becomes local master, is only serves the list of computers of its
vlan.

If I manually add another samba inside a subnet (VLAN X) and that I configure it
to be the local master, the magic is working, and everyone can see both the
computers from "Server VLAN" and "VLAN X".

The samba acting as domain master is configured as follow:

workgroup = WORKGROUP
wins support = yes
prefered master = yes
local master = yes
domain master = yes
os level = 65

interfaces = lo eth1:1 127.0.0.1/8 10.0.9.65/8
bind interfaces only = yes


The test samba acting as a local master is as follow:

workgroup = WORKGROUP
wins support = no
prefered master = yes
local master = yes
domain master = no
os level = 64


The windows computers don't have any special configuration on them.

Does anyone have any idea what I should change to be able to get a complete
list?
It is impossible for me to add a "local master samba" (like I did on
my test vlan) on each subnet.

Thank you for any answers.
