DFS to CIFS - mounting subfolders from different volumes

We are migrating DFS to NetApp. Is there any way we can maintain DFS tree structure for CIFS on netapp ?

Example

DFS has 2 shares

1) share name - Data =>subfolder - Department => subfolder -security => subfolder - dept1

2) share name - J12 => subfolder - Public Data =>subfolder security-dept1 ( pointing to dept1 in share above)
