Ok well anyway it seems samba DFS doesn't include data replication. I
have been looking around and I think maybe the Unison project would do
the job for us. In response to AB, if possible we prefer to avoid the
latency penalty for everyone.
I have reconsidered using domain DFS. I think a stand-alone DFS root
would be sufficient. I am interested in setting up a load-balancing Dfs
share but I need clarifications regarding the selection process.
Let's say I define my load balancing share like this:
ln -s 'msdfs:serverindatacenter\data,msdfs:nasinremoteoffice\data' lb-data
If both shares specified in the load balancing Dfs share are available,
can I be sure the clients in our remote office will always be accessing
their own NAS rather than the server available over the WAN? In other
words is it possible they will connect to the server available with a
higher latency or can I be sure they will always connect to the server
directly on the LAN? Please take note the remote office is connected to
the central server through a VPN.
