That is what I would do.

Here is what I have for my dfs root in samba ( I am not sure how much
of this is needed):

[net-dfs-root]
  comment = Network DFS Root
  msdfs root = yes
  path = /exports/network_dfs_root
  read only = no
  writable = yes
  public = yes
  force directory mode = 2775
  inherit permissions = yes
  inherit acls = yes

Then on /exports/network_dfs_root I have a tree of folders and links
to msdfs nodes.

fileserv ~ # ls -al /exports/network_dfs_root/
