samba - Nov 2004 - DFS root - slow writes

Hello,

we use DFS on samba and have noticed that writes to some file servers
listed under  the DFS drive letter are very slow,  yet writes to the same
machines directly using UNC paths are very quick.

Are all communications between the client and end server proxied threw the
DFS root server if this service is used?

thanks,
greg

No.  The client talks directly to the target server.
