Do clients need to be registered in DNS in a non-NETBIOS (WINS) environment

I am conducting some research into removing WINS and NETBIOS from our
2K/AD environment and have gathered a lot of good information via posts
etc. but I am after a little more specific info which I am having
difficulty in finding.
To prelude my main question: In the NT world for clients to map drives
etc. via NETBIOS it is [was] necessary to have the server names in WINS
or some other NETBIOS resolution format - this is [was] particularly
relevant for servers in remote subnets. Without WINS or any NETBIOS
protocols whatsoever I would suspect that some other form of resolution
would have to be made available to the clients and that resolution
facility would be DNS (either static entries or dynamically updated).
All this makes sense without doing any "real world" testing but the
information I am more after is if the clients themselves need to be
registered in DNS (dynamically or otherwise). I have a feeling they do
because once a client makes a call to a server for a connection then
the server will chat back to the client using some resolution process.
Would much appreciate if you could correct me if I am wrong and/or
steer me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance
Kenno
