This can be done with a NetBSD samba server on the NAT router, talking to both
LANs.  You have to bump the os level, to make sure it will be the local
master browser. You'll also have to configure your samba server as WINS
server, and tell each windows machines to use it.

If you can't have a nmbd on the router, then use a samba server on both
LANs, one as local master browser and the other one as domain master
brower (which will also be local master browser for its lan) and wins
server. You'll have to tell the local master browser the name (or IP)
of the domain master brower.
