It's not automagic, but you can get the same CIFS server names and IPs, if 1) you have the same IP network segment available on the remote site and 2) you create the same IP address interfaces on the remote site, but DOWN them as you create them.  Our DR site has the same IP segment as our production site.  For all of the VDMs we replicate, I created the same interfaces on the remote side with the same IPs, but issued server_ifconfig server_2 IF_ down as I created them.  When we decide to failover or switchover to the DR site, we have an "extra" step in the procedure to UP the interfaces after the failover event.  Sure, it's not automatic, but it's simple - and a healthy number of our users are on Mac OS X and Linux.  The out-of-the-box settings for caching name servers means that even when dynamic DNS makes an update, the user's own named has stale information.  Karl
