Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing...

Your LVS works fine (outside clients get services running on the realservers via
the director)
Your realservers register with the WINS box as their RIP (which I would expect
them to do).

I don't know much about NT, so you may need to fill me in a bit here.
LVS doesn't know about netbios (LVS is IP) and won't be able to handle anything
here.
It sounds like you want the NT servers to register as the VIP 
with the WINS box and they won't. Do you want the WINS box to talk
to the VIP (now on the linux box) and authenticate users? 

I don't understand the problem real well at the moment
