[Samba] Relaying samba

[Yan Seiner]

I have a somewhat hybrid setup that I need some help with...

I have a main server running 3.0.28 and a satellite server running 
3.0.26.  They are linked via VPN.   Right now we're using cifs to 
communicate through the VPN, which is painfully slow.

Since the two servers are linux boxes, is there a more 
bandwidth-efficient protocol that we can use between the two servers? NFS?

The users can sling files back and forth via GoToMyPC quicker than they 
can using the VPN.

Thanks,
