God dammit, I hate this kind of thing: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=456992
:Right, as you seem to have figured out based on your other bug report, what's changed is that mount.smbfs is now a wrapper around mount.cifs. You didn't mention in your original report that you were previously using smbfs. :)
:smbfs has a userspace process linked with the standard samba client code which handles all of the connection setup, so name resolution works just like smbclient. cifs, OTOH, uses a stand-alone program that does a straight gethostbyname() and passes the IP to the kernel for the connection setup.
:I do consider this a bug and a regression (having to do either of hard-coding IPs or using nss_wins is IMHO a hack), but I'm not sure it'll get fixed anytime soon.
