I have a network which consists of two subnets, each with a linux server
providing Samba services. With the configuration listed below, I have
successfully achieved Subnet B being able to browse Subnet A but, Subnet
A cannot browse Subnet B (sharename not found). Is it a Samba
configuration issue or is it DNS? (I have it fixed if I put an
/etc/lmhosts file on Linux Server A that has the host names and IP
addresses of Subnet B).
LAN A (10.1.1.*) <---->10.1.1.1<--->| Linux Server A
|<--->10.1.2.2<---> LAN B (10.1.2.*) <--->| Linux Server B |

There are other possibilities, I think, but your setup will definitely not work. Hope this helps. Michal
