DFS replication - intra-site load sharing question

I have 2 questions if someone could help please,

---Under this setup---
\\server1\All_Shares (Site 1)
\\server2\All_Shares (Site 1)

\\Domain.local\Shares
----

1. If I configure 2 servers as above and use DFS to replicate between them,
will DFS hand out referals for both server in a load balancing way?

Or would I be better off spliting the shares between the 2 servers?

2. My understanding of clustering with DFS is that you can not use it at
all. Does this include even the file servers that host the shares, or does it
mean just the DFS namespace servers?

Thanks in advance,
Sam Ponder
