I am having a lot of trouble with my clients connecting to the wrong dfs share, how do I ensure that clients only connect to the nearest dfs share.

I have two file shares connected by a vpn connection and when the clients connect to the wrong share it really slows down logon and clogs up the internet connection so I really need to connect to the file share which is in the same office as the client machine.

Thanks

Did you assign the IP ranges to multiple sites in active directory? DFS uses the site configuration information out of the site management in active directory.

    Link to read: Technet site documentation. Dfs is "site-aware" - if your sites are configured correctly, Dfs connections will prefer replicas in the same site as the client.
