If your friend has been aggressively googling, they have probably already seen both the Wikipedia page and the Samba wiki page on the subject, but for anyone else stumbling on this in the future:
Wikipedia says that in Samba contexts, the technology in question is called "MSDFS." Googling that produces the Samba wiki page here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Distributed_File_System_(DFS) >From there, I'm not seeing anything "special" for the client side... Just lots and lots of discussion about the server side and it's limitations. And not being experienced myself... Anyway, maybe the terms "MSDFS" and "MS-DFS" and "Samba user space project" will help find something...
