Doesn't the dns that comes on the NT resource kit link into WINS.  If so, that
is the way people outside your subnet translate the name.  In other words, if
you have a unix machine at 192.168.0.1 and a win95 machine at 192.168.1.1 named
WIN95 in the DHCP.NET network, when the unix computer pings WIN95.DHCP.NET the
DNS running on the NT computer in the 192.168.1 searches for WIN95, doesn't
find it, then searches WINS, finds 192.168.1.1 and forwards that address.  

With this hook into WINS, you open your dynamic naming to the rest of the
world.
