All the machines use the same WINS Server, including the DCs of both
domains. WINS doesn't see "domains" it see "Hosts", however the DCs will
present the required "domain" information when they register themselves in
the WINS database. You may have to reboot the machines after the WINS
setting is changed in their Network Settings to get the quickest update in
WINS.

You don't have to use a single WINS, but I'm suggesting it because I think
it may provide for a "simpler" situation and solution.
