Not really, replicating file locks all over the place is a difficult problem, 
especially if there are hi latency WANs involved. You are looking for a WAFS 
(Wide Area File System). There are several products out there, just google 
them. I don't have any experience to recommend for or against any of them.

Is DFS smart enough to prevent two people from opening the same file on two (or 
more) replication partners at the same time?
