I think the client won't notice if a server is down - you'd have to 
reboot the Windows machine (at least that's my experience).

If you map more than one share with different credentials, it won't work 
with WIndows.
If the shares are mapped already as Z: for example, you won't map 
another share there.

Server crashes do not happen often, so it won't be a big problem for you 
- unless it really crashes :)

for this one I think I already sent an answer (about WINS) to the list?
