DFS in 2003 has generally been improved in a way that it leverages IP
and Site-Cost information to generate the list of DFS targets returned
to clients (in this case the SYSVOL share). 

So yes, this is a non-issue in 2003.

Only applies to 2000 AFAIK. We were told it was fixed in 2003.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Forcing SYSVOL from authenticating DC

I remember there's a way (hotfix and/or reg key) to make clients use the
SYSVOL of the authenticating DC instead of possibly getting a different
SYSVOL due to the behavior of DFS.  I can't find how to do this on MS's
site.  Can anyone point me at the information? 
This is for 2003.
