You are correct in your assumption. No, this won't propagate through WINS. May I 
ask why it is such an issue to update DNS?  If all things are set up correctly, everyone 
should be pointing to your Active Directory server for DNS information anyway. (Otherwise 
you have that insanely long log-in time.) If you want to force the issue, to make 
them "aware" of the changes faster, I can walk you through a few steps to do so.

I'm glad to help in any capacity that I may. I understand the difficulties in dealing 
with the Microsoft way of doing things. :)
