So the alias is pointing at folders on the NT server, yes? That'll
work fine: it's not where you store the alias, but what server the
alias is pointing at that matters.

!? Unless by "doing the same as you described" you mean making an
alias to a folder on a netatalk volume and storing it on an
AppleShare 6 server. Aliases to folders on a netatalk volume will
cause problems no matter where you store them: on your local disk, on
an AS6 server, on an NT server or on the netatalk server itself.
Conversely, aliases pointing at folders on an NT FSM server or AS6
server will work just fine whether you put them on a netatalk server
or not.

See above.
