After working with DFS for several clients now, I've decided that DFS just doesn't scale well. The problems of what happens when replication breaks down across a WAN is just too ugly with large amounts of data.
At one client with 400 gigs on the DFS, the replication broke down and took two weeks to iron out all of the kinks. At another, it was 1.2 gigabytes of data and I had to ship the server back to get that working again.
I've also noticed very odd peformance when someone VPNs in, too.
I think I'll revise my earlier post and recommend using DFS for just application installation.
