R2 is an interim or "upgrade" release of Windows 2003. It is an optional upgrade, but has some very nice features such as the new DFS. Look here for more details on R2. Before we continue this discussion, it is important to note that "DFS" previously referred to shares and namespace management. Beginning with the Windows Sever 2003 R2 release, "DFS" is an umbrella term that refers to both namespaces and replication. The term "DFSR", at lease as it is used at this time, refers to the new replication engine.
