hi guys
I was reading this about DFS Replication. So my question basically is Will DFS Replication work over a NAT?
" DFS Replication might not work across firewalls when replicating between branch offices without a virtual private network (VPN) connection because it uses the remote procedure call (RPC) dynamic endpoint mapper. Additionally, configuring DFS
Replication using the DFS Management snap-in does not work when a firewall is enabled. To enable DFS Replication to work through a firewall, you can define a static port using the Dfsrdiag.exe command-line tool.
Limitations and requirements
Can DFS Replication replicate between branch offices without a VPN connection?
Yes—assuming that there is a private Wide Area Network (WAN) link (not the Internet) connecting the branch offices. However, you must open the proper ports in external firewalls. DFS Replication uses the RPC Endpoint Mapper (port 135) and a randomly assigned ephemeral port above 1024. You can use the Dfsrdiag command line tool to specify a static port instead of the ephemeral port.
thanks a lot
