    I think the point of using an LMHOSTS file in this case over WINS is that
    the system at issue is in a DMZ.

    There's been nothing stated as to whether or not WINS exists in the LAN
    segment and it's really not relevant unless you plan to open conduits to
    allow WINS to work between the DMZ and the LAN.

    An LMHOSTS entry is the best option here, IMHO, since it provides the
    minimum amount of information needed by the DMZ system to be functional.
    Putting a WINS server in the DMZ or allowing WINS traffic to traverse
    between the LAN and the DMZ simply makes more information about the LAN
    available to the DMZ than is needed.

    But, for a Windows NT 4 domain to function best, a WINS server should
    already be set up. Otherwise, you have the potential to end up with a
    ridiculous amount of broadcast traffic.

    I don't know where people got the idea that WINS is hard to setup or
    maintain. I find it extremely easy. I would be more than happy to help
    anyone who needs help in that area.

    You can do this by adding an entry in LMHOSTS also, you can google for
    instructions - simpler than setting up WINS.
