[Samba] nmbd intermittently delaying responses to name queries
My PDC Samba nmbd is intermittently delaying responses to name queries. As an example, i run: nmblookup -U 192.168.75.11 -R "PDC#1C" from a member server, and the .11 machine will respond. Repeat this a few times, and the .11 machine stops reponding. After a while (and you keep trying, add "-d 10" to the command-line...) the .11 starts responding again. Sometimes with what appears to be a queued up set of responses (ie: the output of nmblookup shows only 2 requests going to the .11 box, but the .11 box responds 12 times). If I run a "tcpdump port 137" on the .11 box, I can see the requests arriving at the box. Ideas?
