DFS question

Hi folks.

I have this problem:

Two subnets, say, Subnet A and Subnet B. I need to make a
files repository on a server2 (this one is located at
Subnet B) using DFS on Server1 (located at Subnet A).
Clients on subnet A, need to be able to find the server2
files repository (using no router at all). I don't want
to use any router between subnets because this lead to a
lot of problems: i have several private networks using the
same IP addresses.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advanced,
 
Joe,

Not sure that I follow you. How are you going to do this without a layer
three device ( aka Router )? This sounds more like a networking issue than
an Active Directory question.

Or am I missing something?

HTH,

Cary
 
Hi Cary.

Thanks a lot for reply.

My goal is design or install a common storage for several
production lines (i.e. Database, or just shares). But,
because each private network share a common network
design, i can not change this neither put a router on each
line, because i will have IP problems later (i've already
test and probe this)

I'd tought that if i create a DFS root on a server, one
per line (or private network), i can redirect MSMQ to an
external server. But i'm seeing now, this is not possible
if DFS root and share are not in same subnet.

Second idea (still not sure about this neither), is create
MSMQ and SQL clusters. I know how to do last, but not sure
if MSQ will work. I mean, i know MSMQ is cluster aware,
but once i establish connection from MSMQ to a
database ... if the MSMQ node fails, does it failover to
the other node and start to redirect messages where 1st
node were redirecting to? ....
