    Interesting question. Can you have a local linux machine to which the
    windows clients connect first? LUFS has an SSHFS modules which can
    mount things over ssh. So, you could have the windows clients connect
    to a samba share on a local linux box, then have that mount across the
    internet with sshfs.

    LUFS can be found at: http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/
