There are commercial products that do this (see http://www.metainfo.com for example), but I don't think that is this you want.

Another way is to export the WINS database as a DNS zone in Windows, and then configure your Linux server as a secondary for the Windows WINS/DNS domain. I don't know what is the change rate of your WINS database, so you need to check this up to determine the correct replication time between the primary (Windows) and secondary (Linux) server.

Yes, but you must set up a Windows DNS server in order to do that.
