An intelligent network client has the capability of accessing a first network server in accordance with a first high-level file access protocol, and responding to a redirection reply from the first network server by accessing a second network server in accordance with a second high-level file access protocol. For example, the intelligent network client can be redirected from a CIFS/DFS server to a NFS server, and from an NFSv4 server to a CIFS server. Once redirected, the intelligent network client performs a directory mounting operation so that a subsequent client access to the same directory goes directly to the second network server. For example, the first network server is a namespace server for translating pathnames in a client-server network namespace into pathnames in a NAS network namespace, and the second network server is a file server in the NAS network namespace.
