+<description>
+ <para>This option allows you to setup <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> to periodically request
+ synchronization of browse lists with the master browser of a Samba
+ server that is on a remote segment. This option will allow you to
+ gain browse lists for multiple workgroups across routed networks. This
+ is done in a manner that does not work with any non-Samba servers.</para>
+
+ <para>This is useful if you want your Samba server and all local
+ clients to appear in a remote workgroup for which the normal browse
+ propagation rules don't work. The remote workgroup can be anywhere
+ that you can send IP packets to.</para>
+
+ <para>For example:</para>
+
+ <para><command moreinfo="none">remote browse sync = 192.168.2.255 192.168.4.255</command></para>
+
+ <para>the above line would cause <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> to request
+ the master browser on the specified subnets or addresses to
+ synchronize their browse lists with the local server.</para>
+
+ <para>The IP addresses you choose would normally be the broadcast
+ addresses of the remote networks, but can also be the IP addresses
+ of known browse masters if your network config is that stable. If
+ a machine IP address is given Samba makes NO attempt to validate
+ that the remote machine is available, is listening, nor that it
+ is in fact the browse master on its segment.</para>
