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.  :)   on 13.02.2011 19:56, atlasbytrade wrote: > 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. > > real concern office...
