You can have it exactly as you suggest.  We have it very similar except we
have the link at the 3rd level and assign read or change permissions there.
E.g.

DFS Root-
        Departments-
                IT-
                        Development-(Actual link to \\smb1\dev$)
                                        Read permission - DOMAIN\IT
Development RO
                                        Change permission - DOMAIN\IT
Development
                        Infrastructure-

Subject: [ActiveDir] DFS , links and placeholders


I'm setting up my corporate DFS and I would like to build my structure
something like this DFS Root-
        Corporate Partners-     
        Customers-
        Departments-
                Sales-
                HR-
                nLINE-
                nControl-
                IT-
                Professional Services-
                Accounting-
                Executive-
        Prospects-
        Vendors-


My question is can I set up my DFS Root and have the next level folders be
place holders and create the links Under them Example: DFS Root-
        Departments (Placeholder)
                IT-  (Actual Link/Share  pointed to \\Server\IT)

Or Does the Folder Department have to be the link and IT just a subfolder
under it?
