		<term><anchor id="ENHANCEDBROWSING"/>enhanced browsing (G)</term>
		<listitem><para>This option enables a couple of enhancements to 
		cross-subnet browse propagation that have been added in Samba 
		but which are not standard in Microsoft implementations.  
		</para>

		<para>The first enhancement to browse propagation consists of a regular
		wildcard query to a Samba WINS server for all Domain Master Browsers,
		followed by a browse synchronization with each of the returned
		DMBs. The second enhancement consists of a regular randomised browse
		synchronization with all currently known DMBs.</para>

		<para>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.</para>

		<para>In general you should leave this option enabled as it makes
		cross-subnet browse propagation much more reliable.</para>

		<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">enhanced browsing = yes</command></para>
