<para>Specifies that <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> when acting as a WINS server and
finding that a NetBIOS name has not been registered, should treat the
NetBIOS name word-for-word as a DNS name and do a lookup with the DNS server
for that name on behalf of the name-querying client.</para>
<para>Note that the maximum length for a NetBIOS name is 15
characters, so the DNS name (or DNS alias) can likewise only be
15 characters, maximum.</para>
<para><command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> spawns a second copy of itself to do the
DNS name lookup requests, as doing a name lookup is a blocking
action.</para>
