Windows DFS and Clusters
I understand that if you want to use DFS on a Windows cluster your only options is to use a stand-alone DFS.
Is my following statement correct:
"A Windows Cluster can only host a stand-alone DFS because a cluster used CAP's (Client Access Points") as the central point of access as compared to a domain-based DFS. You can make name spaces highly available by adding it to a cluster.
Is my statement correct??

I would interperate it like that yes
What are you trying to do? I host all DFS namespaces on domain controllers...I don't see a general use case for stand alone DFS namespaces.

So is it correct to say the use of a CAP in a cluster would take the place of a central name space in a domain based DFS??
