So I have to run my own WINS server? Or can the QNAP host that?

Brilliant - didn't see that option. Got it sorted now - cheers :)

One possible issue with that though, WINS server enabled on the NAS does prevent spin down of disks (if configured).
No, RAID has never ever been a replacement for backups. Without backups you will eventually lose data!

That probably a benefit for me, actually.

Well - wins vs. HS standby are mutually exclusive as of now...
