msdfs referrals at share-level

[Guenther Deschner]

hello everybody,

as far as i have looked into msdfs.c it seems to be impossible to send 
a client a dfs-referral at the share level (\\fileserver\msdfs-link).

maybe there is another way to "proxy" a request to \\samba\thisshare to
\\anothersamba\thatshare ? 

i currently want to migrate a couple of nt-servers transparently for
clients. the basic idea is to setup one samba-server that offers faked
file-service via netbios-aliases and dfs-redirects to the real
samba-fileserver. unfortunatly touching the clients is a no-go.

old setup with *nt*:

 client -> //fileserver/share1

planned setup with *samba*:

 client -> //fileserver/share1  where share1 -> msdfs:samba-file\whatever

any help is much appreciated.

bye,
guenther
