Two nmblookup responses with the same IP address shouldn't log an error.

I got a Linux box, running samba-3.0.11 on a Windows network, controlled by 
Windows Servers (I'm not the system administrator :-)).
My team make a lot of developments in this Linux box and I configured it to 
provide file-sharing to some windows clients.

But I've noticed a lot of log messages like this:

[2005/02/20 04:14:56, 0] nmbd/nmbd_namequery.c:query_name_response(101) 
  query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet 
172.16.67.176 for name MYDOMAIN<1d>. 


When I do a nmblookup, I got this:

$> nmblookup -M MYDOMAIN
querying MYDOMAIN on 172.16.127.255
172.16.127.90 MYDOMAIN<1d>
172.16.127.90 MYDOMAIN<1d>


I know that MYDOMAIN got two name servers for reduncy, so when a query is 
made, I got two responses with the same IP address.
But I think this is not an erroneous behaviour. So, when I got two (or more) 
responses with the same IP, nmbd shouldn't log an error.

With this on my mind, I patched nmbd_namequery.c so that don't log if got two 
(or more) responses with the same IP address.
I submit the patch to you, for your analysis, approval and possibly include it 
on future samba releases.
I need to keep the last IP received, so I put it on a global variable 
(last_answer_ip). You will probably need to put it in a better place.


Here is the patch:
