For more information, I can recommend the Samba DFS chapter of the
HOW-TO Collection:-

  http://dp.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#MSDFS


In there, there is a link to dome Microsoft Documentation which even
includes a section headed 'Volumes that Include Alternate Paths', which
exactly covers your original problem.


You might want to look at rsync  (http://rsync.samba.org) if read-only
replicated shares are what you're after.
