This post is EXTREMELY confusing to read.

It sounds like you have

1. a domain controller (DC1) that is also running the WINS Service.
2. Other domain controllers that point at some WINS Server (WINS1)

Is DC1 pointing to itself for its WINS entries or is it pointing at WINS1?

Is WINS1 and DC1 replicating WINS records between them with a push/pull?

If DC1 is not pointing at itself, point it at itself because it will NOT
register anywhere else if it is running WINS.

If you don't replicate the database between WINS1 and DC1 then you need to
turn off WINS on DC1 and point DC1 at WINS1.
