DFS to CIFS - mounting subfolders from different volumes

[ShrikantWD]

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)

I think you can achieve that with symbolic links:
