DFS File Replication

First, please let me know if there is a better forum or board for DFS questions...

Next,

I have a website on a webserver / webfarm setup. 5 webservers in the farm and the website is approximately 14000 files big. When we push a new build we need to push the entire set of files (14000). It seems like DFS replication is taking awhile on this and isnt reliable. Perhaps I dont have DFS setup properly (its the new DFSR with 2003 R2). I am thinking it might be better to just push to one webserver and the Copy across to the other web servers.

Does anybody have any thoughts on whether or not DFS is a viable solution in my scenario?

Any other comments or suggestions?

Thanks
Lance

Re: DFS File Replication

get yourself a nice SAN, if specced propperly it will increase your max IO, reduce some load off your web servers, give just one point to update your files... and when you need to expand you can scale the solution to meet your needs.

just a thought
