Global Catalog

Dear All
We currently run a small network for over 700 users. At present we have 2 domain controllers listed and have connection to another domain via trusts.
Due to problems with DFS, I have as a temporary measure added users file paths back to absolute paths, not an ideal solution but one had to act quick.
I am wanting to add some real redundancy to our network and was looking at Microsoft Cluster services as an option instead of DFS.
One area that I have not looked into yet is a Global Catalog allocation on both domain controllers is this wise and what's the best method if any when the system is live.
