DFS can be used for load balancing and redundancy
redundancy. Do not install it on a DC, especially with 1 tb of data. A DFS share
will have at least 2 servers. I would recommend looking into 3rd party software
for this. I have heard the limit for DFS is about 250 to 500 gb depending on the
traffic. Read thru the documentation in the resource kit
thoroughly.

Does anyone here use DFS? If so, do you use it for load balancing? Did you install it on a DC? It's own server? We are looking into breaking our one huge file server (1 tb of space) into 4 smaller servers (more manageable and wanted to look into DFS. We do have NT/95 clients but that should not stop me because I can install the AD client on them.
Thanks for any info!
