By "add it to the local DNS" do you mean add it to the "hosts" file on
the firewall (which distributes DHCP)?  I have no idea if my horizon is
split, though sometimes I've been accused of being too big for my
britches. :-)

This is the second Samba box on this network, and you're right, the
first one has a static IP.  It also serves as a WINS server (in
smb.conf).  So if I want to continue to use a dynamic IP should I 

1) set this one up as a second WINS server (doubtful)

or 

2) set the first one up with the WINS hook (sounds logical, but is that
in smb.conf?)
