I am currently running 2 NT4 domain controllers that are linked via a DSL line. I'd like to find a way to keep a set of directories and files synced between them, to allow users to access their files in the closest server and minimize traffic acrossthe DSL line to just the servers. Does NT allow this natively? i was thinking about the Briefcase feature, but I'm not sure if that would solve my problem. Any suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi
One of the most vechiculated "improvement" in 2K was the DFS and the posibility of sync'ing defined directory structures (and even printers!) for redundancy, transparently to the users. This feature is not native to NT4. You may be able to acomplish something using the replication (%WINDIR%\System32\Repl directories) and some batch scripting.
Regards,
Radu
