A TAG is used to group servers of a shared NetBIOS namespace together. Upon -startup, nmbd will attempt to register the netbios name value with one server in each -tagged group. -</p><p> -An example using tags to group WINS servers together is show here. Note that the use of -interface names in the tags is only by convention and is not a technical requirement. -</p><pre class="programlisting"> -[global] - wins server = 192.168.1.2:eth0 192.168.1.3:eth0 192.168.2.2:eth1 -</pre><p> -Using this configuration, nmbd would attempt to register the server's NetBIOS name -with one WINS server in each group. Because the "eth0" group has two servers, the -second server would only be used when a registration (or resolution) request to -the first server in that group timed out. -</p><p> -NetBIOS name resolution follows a similar pattern as name registration. When resolving -a NetBIOS name via WINS, smbd and other Samba programs will attempt to query a single WINS -server in a tagged group until either a positive response is obtained at least once or -until a server from every tagged group has responded negatively to the name query request. -If a timeout occurs when querying a specific WINS server, that server is marked as down to -prevent further timeouts and the next server in the WINS group is contacted. Once marked as -dead, Samba will not attempt to contact that server for name registration/resolution queries -for a period of 10 minutes. -</p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="parsing.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="pt03.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="pwencrypt.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter 11.
