... Another thing to note is that Dfs from MS has NO REPLICATION! It is up
to the administrator of the tree to make sure any "folder" supported by
multiple smb shares are synchronized. You can get all sorts of nasty
inconsistencies between files. The only thing I ever thought is was useful
for was backing up Windows boxes by creating tree full of administrative
shares! 
  Another point that was mentioned by someone was that you still have to
know what server is the "root" server to attach to - if that machine goes
down then you have no tree.
