<samba:parameter name="remote browse sync"
context="G"
type="string"
substitution="1"

<description>
<para>
This option allows you to setup <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> to periodically request
synchronization of browse lists with the master browser of a Samba
server that is on a remote segment. This option will allow you to
gain browse lists for multiple workgroups across routed networks. This
is done in a manner that does not work with any non-Samba servers.
</para>
<para>
This is useful if you want your Samba server and all local
clients to appear in a remote workgroup for which the normal browse
propagation rules don't work. The remote workgroup can be anywhere
that you can send IP packets to.
</para>
<para>
For example:
<programlisting>
<parameter>remote browse sync = 192.168.2.255 192.168.4.255</parameter>
</programlisting>
the above line would cause <command>nmbd</command> to request the master browser on the
specified subnets or addresses to synchronize their browse lists with
the local server.
</para>
<para>
The IP addresses you choose would normally be the broadcast
addresses of the remote networks, but can also be the IP addresses
of known browse masters if your network config is that stable. If
a machine IP address is given Samba makes NO attempt to validate
that the remote machine is available, is listening, nor that it
is in fact the browse master on its segment.
</para>
<para>
The <smbconfoption name="remote browse sync"/> may be used on networks
where there is no WINS server, and may be used on disjoint networks where
each network has its own WINS server.
</para>
