If cost of a machine is the issue, it may be worth mentioning that SAMBA
under Linux et al can function perfectly well as a WINS server to provide
cross-subnet browsing through Network Neighborhood.  Besides the browsing
I'm pretty sure there are some other edge/corner cases where WINS is still
a necessity.

Enabling broadcast forwarding just seems....eughhh.
