Unable to directly access server that is a DFS partner

$

I have three servers that are part of a DFS namespace, and DFS replication group. I've noticed that if I try to access any of these servers directly, or by IP address, I am always taken to the DFS namespace instead. To illustrate, I have server1, server2, server3 and \\namespace\fileshare. If I enter in the UNC path of\\server1\fileshare it will instead give me whatever server is most appropiate per the DFS referral. So I type in\\server1\fileshare but instead I get referred to server2.

How do I directly access servers that are part of a DFS name space?
