6 <para>This option enables a couple of enhancements to
7 cross-subnet browse propagation that have been added in Samba
8 but which are not standard in Microsoft implementations.
11 <para>The first enhancement to browse propagation consists of a regular
12 wildcard query to a Samba WINS server for all Domain Master Browsers,
13 followed by a browse synchronization with each of the returned
14 DMBs. The second enhancement consists of a regular randomised browse
15 synchronization with all currently known DMBs.</para>
17 <para>You may wish to disable this option if you have a problem with empty
18 workgroups not disappearing from browse lists. Due to the restrictions
19 of the browse protocols, these enhancements can cause a empty workgroup
20 to stay around forever which can be annoying.</para>
22 <para>In general you should leave this option enabled as it makes
23 cross-subnet browse propagation much more reliable.</para>
