I'd appreciate some input on this? 
We have 2 remote offices that I'm looking at installing 2 file servers that will give them a local copy of our file-server to alleviate the slowness of the network links between the offices and allow them to carry on working should they loose internet access.
Unfortunately like all things none business critical (and in fairness this is more of a learning exercise than anything else) there is no money for investment.
DFS replication would have been perfect for this except all servers are 2003R1 and MS never implemented this till R2
File replication isn't really the hard part here, what I'm not sure on is how i'd get the user requests to be automatically served by there local server?
thanks
