[python-win32] PDC vs VLAN cage match.

Recently VLANS were setup on the network I use.

Since then the GetServers or win32net.NetServerEnum functions only return
the names of the machines on the same VLAN as the PDC.  This I understand
but unfortunately I need to get the name of every machine on the entire
domain (which spans vlans).  The two PDC's both have all the machine's in
their list.  Is there a way to get the contents of the listing (via NT4
Server Manger)?  Is it possible to just enumerate all the members of a
NT domain regardless of wheter you get broadcasts from each member?

Is there some specific thing I have to set in windows to allow it to 'see'
machines beyond it's VLAN?

Any pointers in the right direction would be appriciated,
