I am looking to setup 2 WINS servers in the same subnet to server as replication partners. We have a legacy device that still relies on WINS. I understand that one WINS server is adequate for a network of 10,000 nodes. I figured two servers are needed so that fault tolerance is included as part of my design. Can this be done successfully? What are the best practices?

Why are you still using wins? – Jim B Apr 25 '17 at 11:34

Having two (or even multiple) WINS servers as replication partners was a fairly standard practice back in the days when WINS servers were more widely and regularly implemented.
The most recent Microsoft documentation that I can find is in reference to Windows 200 Server and Windows Server 2003. That being said, the available documentation should suffice to get it set up and configured.
