Cluster NAS?

Hi, Is it possible with Windows 2003 Server to have multiple NAS's attached and have windows cluster them so that they appear as one drive?

Well I think I've found a solution to clustering NAS in the way of Distributed File System.

Would this work as I want it to?

Ok DFS won't work because you can't have 2 link names the same.

I need storage that's easily upgradable but I need to ability to combine all the drives into one. RAID is the obvious solution but it's not easily upgradable, you would need to restore the array in order to upgrade.

Has anyone any suggestions?

We have a solution, external firewire hard drives, converted to dynamic, then spanned

We haven't got the money to do it properly at the moment.
