[TriLUG] cifs: query_name_response messages in log files.

[Matt Pusateri]

What type of OS's are on 172.20.8.64 & 172.20.10.136 and are those boxes dual homed? b/c it's seeing two different IP's from them.  Do you have them joining the samba domain or just in a simple workgroup mode.  Seems like either netbios broadcasts are returning the wrong IP's/Interfaces and or Samba is doing a DNS lookup on the host and getting the other IP.  Assuming they are dual homed.

Probably have more questions to help you out, but we need more info on how the network and smb clients are setup
