DFS Server Redundacy

I don't understand the requirements you're outlining here: "How do i make the shares redundant so that there is a identical DFS root on 2 or more servers pointing to the same shares, but no replication i dont want to copy any data"

So you want to have a share called \\dfs\shared that exists on more than one server...but with the data only existing on one server?  What does that do for you if the server that is hosting the data goes offline?  The way that DFS provides redundancy is via replication - specify more than one DFS target for \\dfs\shared, and DFS will replicate the data between the various targets so that they stay loosely consistent with each other.

No no, i dont want same share on multiple servers. I want multiple DFS servers.
Ex.
These are my shares lets say each one on a different server on a different site.
Share1   \\server5\share1
Share2   \\server3\share2
Share3   \\server4\share2

DFS Server0
Target 1 - \\server5\share1
Target 2 - \\server3\share2
Target 3 - \\server4\share2

There are two ways of connecting to the shares.
PC -> Server (Directly to the server that they are located in - \\server5\share1)
or
PC -> DFS Server -> Server ( \\domain.com\DFSshare\target1)
My DFS server does not hold any data it just has basicalyl links to the shares, but its all in one central location and i map a drive to the DFS root \\domain.com\DFSshare
My problem is now if the DFS server goes down my clients cant connect to the shares because the link was broken (\\domain.com\DFSshare\target1) but the direct path still works (\\server5\share1)

The reason i dont want data replication is because my servers are in different sites and there is a lot of data which will kill my internet, its already maxed out by other stuff.

I just want a 2nd DFS root with same links that can be accessed if one of the roots(DFS servers) goes down. If the server with the share it self goes down then thats ok no one will be able to access that share but if the DFS server goes down no one can acess any shares unless i give them alternate paths.

I hope thats more clear

TIA Cheers.

Points increased to 250. I guess a simpler form of the question is:

How to I make DFS redundant so that if my PDC running DFS goes down, users will still be able to access the identical DFS shares because of a redundant DFS setup on one of my other DCs?

We heavily use DFS mainly for grouping shares from multiple servers into one convienent location.

Thanks.

Thank you, that was perfect, exactly what i wanted.

Cheers.
