Right, it isn't. My bad. FS Namespaces mapping uses port 445,
a different function - see URL at the bottom.
Ah. Maybe a term collision between "Namespaces" and "name (to IP)
resolution".
All I found from a random search in the interwebs, is the following
link. Port 445 is used for file/printer data sharing as discussed.
It is also used for 'Distributed File System Namespaces' across
different domains - but this is not DNS-IP resolution.
Yep. DFS, being a pseudo / logical server, needs to be found just like
actual servers. That makes complete sense. \\DFS\LogicalServer is
really at \\CorpServer\ShareA and \\BranchServer\ShareB, take your pick.
By the way, CorpServer is at the corporate HQ through the WAN link and
BranchServer is at the same branch office as you.

Thank you for the link. I will read it in the coming days as time permits.
