DFS domain based namespace naming

$

Hello, I have a single hyper-v guest file server hosting a 600GB data volume that I am trying to split amongst two new hyper-v file servers using DFS. Obviously the logical choice is to use DFS domain based namespace, but their a problem lies within. I want to make this as transparent to the end users as possible and have the new DFS namespace reflect the current file server's name (the current server will be retired when done). I found I could create a CNAME to for the domain so that by entering <cnameofdomain\, I would see any DFS roots I created. The problem however is I just want the folder structure to look the same as it is now. If I create the roots, then the folder structure looks like cnameofdomain\root\sharedfolder.Cant I just get it to look like nameofcurrentfileserver\sharedfolder1

                 nameofcurrentfileserver\sharedfolder2

                 nameofcurrentfileserver\sharedfolder3

In the example above, the namespace once again, is the name of the existing file server which will be retired, and it will also be a cname of the domain.
