Correct, the wins server sends out a broadcast every so often I think 15
mins, the node then returns it's hostname in reply to these broadcasts.
nowadays you can get some DNS server (MetaIP, MS DNS , etc) to interrogate
your Wins servers.  However, WINS is not a standard as far as DNS is
concerned.  Zone transfer fails, better to filter out the wins feature
before any zone transfer, MetaIP does it for you automatically, You have to
do it yourself in MS DNS.
