In the german magazin iX was an article about samba and they have a good
diagramm about this. I says:

The net consists of multiple broadcast-domains

--> no
  no wins server necessary, but possible; no domain master browser
  necessary

--> yes
  wins server necessary; one local masterbrowser for each subnet
  necessary; one domain masterbrowser necessary

  Does a WinNT primary domaincontroller exist in the subnet?

  --> yes
    in the subnet of the PDC:
	wins server = <ip nr>
	os level = 0
	preffered master = no
	local master = no
	domain master = no
    in the other subnet
	wins server = <ip nr>
	os level = 65
	preffered master = yes
	local master = yes
	domain master = no

  --> no
    Samba as domain masterbrowser ?
	
    --> yes
      in one subnet:
	wins support = yes
	os level = 65
	preffered master = yes
	local master = yes
	domain master = yes
      in the other subnet
	wins server = <ip nr>
	os level = 65
	preffered master = yes
	local master = yes
	domain master = no
    --> no
      wins server = <ip nr>
      os level = 0
      preffered master = no
      domain master = no

Hope this helps,
