Remote filesystem in a directory

You excuse my bad English.

I need to mount on a remote filesystem in a directory
(the equivalent of "ln - s dir1 \dir2\dir3" of linux where \dir2\dir3 is
a filesystem mounted on by another server).
Both servers have windows 2000 servers standard.
I succeed in accessing the data of the remote server and I succeed in
climbing on the volume that interests me.
What I don't succeed in doing is to introduce them the one directory.
Example:

C:\Dir1\Dir2\data

where gives it contains the files of \\server1\test

The users SFTP have for root C:\Dir1 and therefore you cannot climb for
to reach the mounted volume.
All tools that I have tried work only with local directory and then they
refuse to mount remote volumes (Ex. linkd.exe and
junction.exe).

Is it possible to do this?
Do you eventually have another solution?

I have also tried already with DFS, but the problem is the usual one.
To access DFS I have to be able to reach the root (thing that mine users
are not of intention trained to do).
Also with DFS I have not succeeded in showing the content of the
filesystem
remote in a directory (virtual, junction or similar).

Thanks in advance

Investigate "Distributed File System" (DFS) on Microsoft's Site (or in any
books you might have) and see if that will do what you want. It is not
identical to what you see with Linux but it is very similar.
