I would create one or 2 large zVols, share them via iSCSI to your Windows
machines.  Then I'd format those as NTFS.  You can then create folders in
those disk LUNs.  Create something like this:

D:\shares\share1
D:\shares\share2
D:\shares\etc
E:\shares\share3
etc

Then, CIFS share each one of the "shareX" folders.  You can then tell DFS
which shares on your server to use for a DFS namespace:

\\server\share1
\\server\share2
\\server\share3

Point DFS at those CIFS shares.
