It is incomplete and doesn't explain anything more complex than a local subnet scenario (having had to figure out the same sort of nt problem accross an ISDN link). Get a good NT ORielly book or even the Microsoft Network Administration kit for more info on how to do this. Or call up a local network support company and ask to speak to their MCSE or someone who understands WINS. Of course, you could put routers at each border and run a Virtual Private Network through the IP crowd, then both subnets are more "local" and you can run your WINS through it without too much fear (although the idea of running WINS through the Internet really scares me). Does FreeBSD have any VPN implementation that could pull this off?
