Scott,

Ah. that’s very useful feedback. I will get the team on it pronto.

If its OK with you, our engineers may reach out to understand precisely what you mean by VERY large so we can be sure to engineer and test accordingly.

Hi Bentman013,

Can I ask you to share your experiences with our Tech Support Team? We’re working hard to improve our DFS functions which are new to ExtremeZ-IP and your experience is very valuable to that effort. Call them or email support at grouplogic.com

As you know, ExtremeZ-IP is the only DFS solution that supports Snow Leopard today. Our goal is to deliver the same level of quality in the DFS components that we’ve achieved in the many other functions of the product. If you don’t think we’ve done that, I thank you in advance for helping us move the product forward with your detailed feedback.

Regarding this point:

> Not to mention, all it does it make my users connect to another server just as a pass-through out to the NAS

There is no “pass through” in the workflow. The role of the DFS functions of ExtremeZ-IP are identical to the DFS service on Windows, that is to help users navigate the DFS namespace and resolve DFS paths. Once the navigation is complete, the file sharing connections occur directly from the Mac file sharing client to the DNS target file server (the NAS in your topology) and no data passes through ExtremeZ-IP. Connections may be over either AFP or SMB to suit your requirements and equipment.

See you at MacWorld!

– Reid
