How to limit dfs replica access to just one share?

[Hikenboots]

In Windows 2000 dfs, I want a replica of two shares on different servers
that syncs but only allows users to connect to one share in the replica. I
want to do this to avoid the problem of not having file locks across the
replica to prevent simultaneous modifications of the same file. How do I
limit accesses to just one share?

Hi,

In the DFS console, right click the particular target you don't want users
to access, and choose "Disable Referrals".

I have been all through the snap in and cannot find the diable referrals
control. Can you step me through how to find it? I see a "take
offline/online" control...

The terminology is probably differnt on 2003 (which is what I'm looking at).
Take online/offline sounds like the right choice.
