[Prasad, Sreenivasa]

For example, I have a server with samba and AFS on it serving multiple
clients (linux and nt).
where interfaces are through nt->samba and linux->afs.
My doubts are

1. At the server level how the requests are processed? 
   Is it some thing like below.

	client request
		|
		|
		V
	

	     Samba	server 
	  -----------------
		AFS
	  -----------------
  Under lying unix file system.
  -------------------------

	Is the above correct?

2. If so, do every linux client request should travel through the samba
server interface to the 	afs interface?
 

Regards,

/Prasad.
