Yes and yes. What you would do is create a root on the DC, and then create a
link that points to the shared folders on the other server. The Help for the
Distributed File System snap-in has procedures for these tasks.

As for limits, please review the following link:

The question you want is: Q. What are the DFS size limits and
recommendations for Windows Server 2003?

Thank you for the comment. I have another one for you?
Is it possible when a host my DFS root in my domain controller windows 2003
to create multiple links under my DFS Root and have the maping to point
directly to the share bypassing the root name? for example my dfs root is
domain.int\public and my link is server_name\finance van i have my scripts
point to this:
domain.int\finance directly?

Thank you

As above, no. This is not possible.
