Yes, that will work. Going under the assumption that you have the (2) folder targets setup in DFS: \\siteA\software \\siteb\software Also keep in mind that the share has to be available. If it's not, the client will pull from the closest available site. Which means pulling across the wire

If found the main road block or bottleneck that we were experiencing with DNS services, just not sure why we didn't see these issues years before. We were directed years ago to NOT setup Forwarders in DNS, and instead rely totally on Root Hints if our DNS could not resolve, it's been that way
