DFS file server and shared files

-

i'm thinking of setting pair of windows 2008 r2 file servers such midwest offices , west coast offices single namespace file shares.  1 server in midwest office , 1 server in west coast office. 

my real concern offices use single shared xls file track incomes , conversations.  how dfs handle shared spreadsheet?  if west coast offices working on west coast server , midwest offices working on midwest server, dfs should should pass portions of file modified.  shared spreadsheet should calculate fine once has saved , closed out of it.  right?

i don't have resources real world testing, sadly.  appreciate if has seen behavior , yea or nay me.  :)

changes replicated if file closed. other
than that, dfs operates according "last writer wins" - there may
be weird behaviors shared workbooks, suppose. i'd wanna
test that. virtual machines only.
