	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para>This VFS module is part of the
	<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>

	<para>With this module, the link target is not directly a
	server and share, but this module expects the target to
	reference a file, containing a table. The file is referenced
	by means of the msdfs symlink target according to
	msdfs:@table-filename@/share. The file table-filename is
	supposed to contain a list of destinations that are looked at
	from top to bottom:</para>

	<programlisting>
192.168.234 local.samba.org
192.168 remote.samba.org
 default.samba.org
	</programlisting>

	<para>With this, clients from network 192.168.234/24 are
	redirected to host local.samba.org, clients from 192.168/16
	are redirected to remote.samba.org and all other clients go to
	default.samba.org.</para>

	<title>AUTHOR</title>

	<para>The original Samba software and related utilities
	were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
	by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
	to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
