[Samba] samba3, nfs mounted directory, and dfs

Hello,
    I hope this is the right place to ask this one.
    I've got a FreeBSD 6.2 machine acting as an nfs server. It's exporting a 
home directory to several machines. On the server that home directory has a 
symlink in it to another directory on the filesystem. As long as users are 
on the server they can view the directory symlinked to, but if viewing 
through samba, they're logged on to another machine, that directory 
obviously doesn't show up because the endpoint doesn't exist on the nfs 
clients. I'm wondering would dfs fix this? If so, would i have to do it on 
the server or client boxes?
Thanks.
Dave.
