DFS Root Namespace location

$

Hello,

Bringing a new AD/File Services system into production (2008 R2 Enterprise).  I currently have 5 file servers, all with a single data volume provided by our SAN.  Planning to use a domain DFS Namespace (no DFS replication) to provide access.  Two questions:

1.  Does anyone see any problem with creating a DFS Root Namespace on the SAN volume (the same volume housing the data)?  I'd rather not create it on C:\, as it is much easier to strip away the permissions on a data volume.

2.  Do I need to install the DFS Namespaces role on each server that will be a Namespace Server?  For example, I install the DFS Namespaces role on fs01 and create my namespace.  I then want to add fs02 as a Namespace server... do I need to install the role on fs02 before I attempt to add it as a namespace server?

Thanks,

Dasani
