+
+This option enables a couple of enhancements to cross-subnet browse
+propogation that have been added in Samba but which are not standard
+in Microsoft implementations. Enhanced browsing is enabled by
+default, and can be diabled using "enhanced browsing = No".
+
+The first enhancement to browse propogation consists of a regular
+wildcard query to a Samba WINS server for all Domain Master Browsers,
+followed by a browse synchronisation with each of the returned
+DMBs. The second enhancement consists of a regular randomised browse
+synchronisation with all currently known DMBs.
+
+You may wish to disable this option if you have a problem with empty
+workgroups not disappearing from browse lists. Due to the restrictions
+of the browse protocols these enhancements can cause a empty workgroup
+to stay around forever which can be annoying.
+
+In general you should leave this option enabled as it makes
+cross-subnet browse propogation much more reliable.
