// You don't understand my point at all, I'm afraid.

that's entirely possible, but i am trying.

// If a link is found in the process's name space,
// then it *isn't* found on a remote file server.

again, depending on what you mean by a "link",
this is false. take this example:

my client imports a remote file server. that import
presents me with files /dog/woof and /cat/meow.
i then bind /dog over /cat, replacing it. now, when
i do a 'ls /cat', that's looked up in the namespace
(in the mount table), and resolved to /dog. /dog is
then resolved to the imported file server. the file is
found in the process's name space, and then on a
remote file server.

please define what you mean when you say "link",
as i think that would help me understand what
you're getting at, or where the confusion is.
