I agree, but the single Linux folder I am thinking of would have 50 to
100 links in it. If each of these folders were separately mounted as
network drives on the Windows machine, I would have to set up 50 to
100 network drives on each Windows machine. At any one time, only a
dozen or so of these would actually be used. Also, if I need to add or
delete what would've been a single link in a single directory, this
would require adding or deleting multiple network drives on multiple
machines. This is, in part, what I was trying to avoid having to do.

Thanks very much for the suggestion - I was hoping to do that in a
simpler way with SAMBA if the links worked.
