Clients must access DFS root servers by using the SMB protocol.
If the DFS root server is temporarly unavaialable due to network outage

does

A DFS root server must be available. If your client has cached a particular
DFS link, you can traverse that link without talking to a root server. The
cache will eventually expire, however.
