Wins Replication Query

Senario

LAN A is connected to LAN B and LAN C via VPNs

LAN A has Wins Replication set up between LAN B

IF Wins replication is then setup between LAN A and LAN C will LAN C get the
replicated records from LAN Bs Wins Entries that are within LAN As wins
database ?

thanks for any responses

Hi there --

Yes.

Let's say a client registers a name with the WINS server on B. When B
pushes the record to A (or A pulls it from B), the record is then in the
WINS A database, with WINS B listed as the record owner.

Next WINS A replicates with WINS C -- and the WINS B record is replicated
to WINS C, with WINS B listed as the record owner.

The one thing to keep in mind is to orchestrate your replication times so
that there is not too long a delay between replication times, since the
record must go from B to A and then to C -- which obviously will take
longer than a direct replication from B to C.
