In normal IP networks running windows, the DC is found via the WINS service.
WINS is the pre win2k version of DNS. WINS is used to map host- and service-
names to IP-addresses. AFAIK, there is currently no support for WINS in
iptables/netfilter, thus the answer your win client gets back points to
the not-NATed address, which is unreachable. By directly specifying the
machine you work around that problem (you manually to what the wins service
would have done otherwise).

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
