.SH "NAME"
vfs_expand_msdfs \- Expand msdfs links depending on client IP
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\ 'u
vfs objects = expand_msdfs
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This VFS module is part of the
\fBsamba\fR(7)
suite\&.
.PP
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:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
192\&.168\&.234 local\&.samba\&.org
192\&.168 remote\&.samba\&.org
 default\&.samba\&.org
	
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
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\&.
.SH "VERSION"
.PP
This man page is part of version 4\&.19\&.5\-Debian of the Samba suite\&.
.SH "AUTHOR"
.PP
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\&.
