Running out of Disk space will DFS help?

Out of diskspace will DFS help?
I am running out of diskspace on a Windows 2003 server that is used for home directories. Will DFS help?

Scenario:
\\server1\HOMEDIR shared folder is located on the D:\ drive is which is almost full
E:\ drive is empty

Desired Results:
Utilize disk space on the E:\ drive to extend the the D:\ drive so that the HOMEDIR folder does not need to be moved.
Use no 3rd party software.
Add no new hardware.

Can I use Windows DFS to do this?
If so, how do I do this?
