DFS Setup


hi, i'm researching rolling out dfs in our company ha , backup purposes.  all our dc's , member servers minimum 2003 r2 sp2.  i'm wondering if below sounds plan or not?

site hq, b , c secondary sites.
site , b connected 1gb private link.
site , c connected 10 mb internet vpn
site has several remote offices connected internet vpn

i plan to amalgamate file servers in site , b 1 file server based in site hq.

then setup replication shared folders file server in site b.

if file server goes down in either site users able access file server same shares on other site without downtime.

i plan setup replication between site , site c/ remote sites.

all backing can done site a.

plan create 1 namespace format:

\\domainname\rootname\siteaname\shared folders
\\domainname\rootname\sitebname\shared folders
\\domainname\rootname\sitecname\shared folders
\\domainname\rootname\remotesitename\shared folders

i don't have previous experience of dfs can tell me if above seems ok , if it's possible?

cheers

i'll have try :)

1. create dfs namespace \\domain\root.

2. create subfolder named foldera, add foldera located on both servera (in sitea) , serverb (in siteb) 2 folder targets. 2 folder targets should replicated contents same. when servera down, users directed serverb , see same contents.
