File system filter

Hi,

First off, I understand that Apple doesn't supply any sort of stackable file system or filter driver mechanism - I've read the relevant tech notes and documentation.  What we want the ability to do, though, is essentially filter a mounted SMB volume.  We need to be able to map files on the mounted volume to a separate file server, transparently to the user.  We've looked into the OSXFUSE option and the option of implementing our own file system, but those solutions seem awfully heavy-handed for what we want to do.  It's my understanding that we'd essentially have to duplicate all of the existing SMB functionality, since we'd be implementing a totally independent file system, and not stacking onto existing functionality.  So, my question is - are there other options for handling this sort of thing?

Thanks for any info,
Jeff
