A method is disclosed for accessing information based on Distributed File System (DFS) paths and for automatically and transparently modifying the DFS target server set with additional servers that are preferable to a client. A request to resolve a path to a file is sent to a DFS root node. A response is received from the DFS root node. The response includes one or more first DFS referrals. Each of the one or more first DFS referrals identifies a network entity and a directory that is exported by the network entity, where the file is stored in the directory. A second DFS referral is added to the response. The second DFS referral identifies a particular network entity and a particular directory that is exported by the particular network entity. The response is sent to the client.
