PRFS1                           DRFS1
     PRFS1\Share1                PRFS1\Share1
     PRFS1\Share2                PRFS1\Share2
PRFS2                           DRFS2
     PRFS2\Share3                PRFS2\Share3
     PRFS2\Share4                PRFS2\Share4

Primary site has 2 File Servers. Plan to add 2 File Servers for DR site.
Each share contains multiple folders controlled by NTFS permissions.

e.g.

PRFS1    
     PRFS1\Share1\User1
                          \User2
     PRFS1\Share2\User3
                          \User4

Plan to implement DFS Namespaces and DR.

Root will be DOMAIN.COM\Shares

1. Do folder targets have to have the exact same content? If replication isn't configured can DFS aggregate the contents and show everything across all folders?
2. Do I implement this as 4 targets:
                           \\DOMAIN.COM\Shares\Share1
                            \\DOMAIN.COM\Shares\Share2
                            \\DOMAIN.COM\Shares\Share3
                            \\DOMAIN.COM\Shares\Share4
3. Or do I flatten out tree in the namespace:
                           \\DOMAIN.COM\Shares\Share1User1
                            \\DOMAIN.COM\Shares\Share1User2
4. Is it not possible to present a single namespace target to all users:
                            \\DOMAIN.COM\Shares\

5. When adding replication into this for DR - I guess targets need to be in sync
